determining location

[hingis_rules]

I'm just starting out with javascript and was wondering is it possible to determine the location such as the country, the user is from via Javascript or is there another way?

Thanks for any help.

If you could determine the user's IP address (which you can't with JavaScript) and then query a huge database such as the one that IP 2 Location (http://www.ip2location.com/) have (which you can't with JavaScript) then yes you could.

So to answer your question, no you can't do it with JavaScript. You would need server-side scripting to do this.
