It can be done,but to my knowldge it will limit you to only NS browsers.

If you want to know more about this topic, read on about "LiveConnect" in NS

i don't know it could not be done using Javascript, because i don't have much knowledge on it.

could you think of other languages/scripts to do this? thanks.

As I said in my previous post.
"It can be done with javascript."
The only thing is that it will work with NS browsers since MS IE does not like to admit that Java is a great lang,therefore will not support it.

Yes you can use all other language to get this information from the underlying OS.I know you will be able to do this using Java,I am positive you can do this using C/C++, hopefully VB too.
