Java script is not my speciality but I really need to know if there is a javascript function that I can use to get the computer name of users when the web application is host on a server????
Thanks for answering.

Not possible, for privacy/security reasons.

It is possible, but I don't know if you can do it with Javascript. If you have an Apache & PHP setup, then you can get the host name of the client, but you need to have Apache configured to do reverse DNS lookups (which is not generally a good idea) and I think it only works with PHP 5.
