Show ip-address of a domain in a html page

[ojf]

Is it possible to find the ip-address of a domain and put it into a text box?

Say the domain is

http://www.mydomain.com

and the html-page is index.htm, then I want the ip-address of the domain to be placed in a text box of the index.htm.

Thanks!

Domains do not have IP addresses, so no - it is not possible to do what you ask.

If, however, you want to find the IP address of a machine on a domain (ftp.mydomain,com,

http://www.mydomain.com,

mail.mydomain.com, etc), then you'd have to use some sort of server-side code (ASP, JSP, PHP, CGI, etc) to do this.

Hope this helps,
Dan

If your host doesn't support Perl/PHP/etc, you could stick a traceroute in your page..

<iframe src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://customers.hispeedhosting.com/cgi-bin/trace.sh?google.com"[/URL] height="50%" width="50%"></iframe>

Just replace google.com with whatever domain you need to look up. Not as pretty as what you want, but it's a start :\

I'm a little confused here. Do you want the IP of the server that the index.htm page is sitting on or some totally different server?

Hope this helps

Thanks for your replies! I am interested in the ip of the server of the index.html. But I think that I have foun a solution, thanks to the program DynSite for Windows. The program monitors the IP and update it at

http://www.dnsExit.com,

but it also writes the IP into a file (ip.log) and I use the information in that file.

Before I found out that DynSite had this logging option, I put NSLOOKUP mydomain.net > c:\windows\web\ip.txt into a batch file, ip.bat and set up ip.bat to run as a scheduled task.

I have set up Remote Desktop Web Connection, and when I log on to the server, I have to supply the IP. When you install RDWC you get a file, default.htm. I renamed that file to default.asp and added some code so that it now reads the IP from ip.log and put it into the server text box. In that way I can reach my server (my home computer)here in Norway from around the world without having to worry about IP changes. And it works - after lots of trouble with ADSL modem, router, network card and of course Windows XP and all its fixes and updates.

Before I found out that DynSite had this logging option, I put NSLOOKUP mydomain.net > c:\windows\web\ip.txt into a batch file, ip.bat and set up ip.bat to run as a scheduled task. Then I filtered the ip.txt file in default.asp to get the valid ip adress into the server text box.

Hi mate,

Check out this FAQ, it shows some services that will provide a domain name you can use to access your server, it is much easier this way.
