rvalkass 5 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 What sort of information are you trying to get hold of and why? Generally Javascript is only used to gather information about the browser, such as screen resolution, but can't go much further than that. The only method I can see working is through ActiveX, but that will prompt the user with a variety of security warnings, and will of course only work on Windows PCs.

BCD 1 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 If you have access to server logs on the server, you pretty much have all the information you are looking for. Awstats does a great a job in segregating the data into useful information from these server logs. For more analysed statistics, google analytics is good choice.

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 If you want this information that which visitor used which os while visiting your page. Then such information can be retrieved from software like mint, awstats, webalizer, google analytics, slimstats. There are many other stats scripts that you can use for more power. But i found that GA,Awstats works well with me. You don't need java to install and use it. It's simple and if you're hosted on Xisto. You've it installed already. Just open the awstats option from cpanel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Javascript can't go any further than the user's browser and it's environment. Stuff like CPU, memory, etc... isn't accessible since browsers simply don't have access to this information (for privacy reasons and simply because it's not interesting to have this information in javascript).//edit: other languages like Java, Flash and Silverlight do have access to this information Edited October 31, 2009 by wutske (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
