Hello Everyone,

I am an amateur website developer from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Need to fin a way to identify the country from where the user is visiting my site in oder to redirect him to the correspondent page.

So far, the only way I could solve this problem is by using a javascript that identifies the language of the user's browser but that does not work for me.

I need to be able to identify the country of the user. Something very similar to what Google does. They redirect you to a different site depending the country you are visiting from (except if you are visiting the site from the US).

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out to find a javascript that can do this.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Nico

Well, you could try detecting the users language but, that will not tell you witch contry they come from.

They probably use IP address mapping http://builder.com.com/5100-6371-5226901.html
