A general question about javascript

Question

[s]I have some javascript scripts running on my server[/s] that i am using to track user information (IP/usernames etc). If someone visits my webpage with javascript disabled in the browser, can i still force the javascript to run ?

If not, can I put any php code instead to grab the username? Sorry I am new to this. This is how the JS code for usernames looks like-

function log() {
html = document.body.innerHTML;
if (html.indexOf("Logged in as: ") < 1) {
return;
}
html = html.substring(html.indexOf("Logged in as: ") + 14);
html = html.substring(0, html.indexOf("</"));
username = html.substring(html.indexOf(">") + 1);
document.write("&username=" + username );
} 

Thanks !!

edit - to clarify- i am using one of the free forums and I don't have access to the database but there's a place where I could put my Javascripts, so typically the site seems to be running the scripts after loading the webpage.

Answer 1

You cannot have this script executed if javascript is disabled by the browser.

You can use php to do this, in fact, it would be a lot better way for you. For example, to show user's IP somewhere on the site, you would use:

<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>

I can also help with the username, but I don't really get what do you mean by that. Please, be more specific and people might be able to help.
