Have web page automatically email me

[Sam Polos]

Is there a way, with javascript, that if someones visits a webpage that I
automatically get an email with information about the visitor? Info such as
IP, referrer, etc. Thanks.

The server logs probably have all this information in it already. If
not it could be made to log this info.

You could have the server send you an email automatically with each
new ip address that visits your site.

If you need to have the web page involved, the JavaScript in the web
page can make and XmlHTTPRequest (Ajax) to the server. The server can
then send the email to you. Seems like a convoluted thing to do.

It is simpler than that. Simply set the source of an image element to
point to the server side script and have that server side script send
the email.

Randy, thanks for the reply and there are some nice facts in the FAQ. First
one I've ever read (actually, only the most asked programming questions).
Without trying to be arrogant or a smart ass, does anyone ever read those
things? Or even know that they exist? How would they (except after the fact
(as in my case))? :-)

Thanks for the reply, Peter. I actually have a CGI file on my server that
does this. I was wanting to see how it would be done in javascript. I have
problems with people downloading my website so I made an off the wall page,
such as mqnqbqvbqvqqlkhjoerriorr.htm with no links to it. No way anyone
could guess the name of the page. When I get an email that someone has
downloaded this page I know that a website ripper is being used. And I take
appropriate action from there. At times, I've used modules such as
'speedlimit' and others but they don't work that well. Or didn't use to, I
haven't tried them in awhile.

Sorry for the email. I hit 'reply' instead of 'reply group.'

Randy, thanks for the reply and there are some nice facts in the FAQ.

Did you read Section 2 about top posting?

First one I've ever read (actually, only the most asked programming questions).
Without trying to be arrogant or a smart ass, does anyone ever read those
things?

Sometimes, I doubt very seriously that anybody reads it very often other
than regulars here.

Or even know that they exist?

A Google search for Javascript FAQ turns up this groups FAQ as the
number 3 hit so people would know they would exist if they hunted a
little bit. But, most people simply say "I don't have time to be
bothered, I will ask - it's quicker". Not saying that you did that, but
it seems to be a trend.

How would they (except after the fact (as in my case))? :-)

It is in my signature on every post I make to this group :)

If you have obtained your Internet and/or News service through a
competent organisation considerate of its users and of others, then you
would have been told about FAQs in general and Usenet FAQs in
particular.

But I see that you are posting through an organisation that puts PST in
headers, and that an anti-virus system using FFF is used. So you
haven't.

Of course, those with the sagacity to look through the subject lines of
recent articles in the group before posting would have seen that, in
them, "FAQ" occurs *at least* once per day, often with subsequent
discussion. So the meaning of "FAQ" should be of interest. Reading any
non-followup articles with "FAQ" in the subject should provide a
sufficient clue.

Can you tell me where on http://www.giganews.com/ that it mentions
Usenet group FAQ's? Or is your claim going to be that Giganews isn't a
"competent organization considerate"? That is where *my* access comes
from and it says nothing - in the first 2 or 3 pages - about Usenet
and/or FAQs for Usenet. In fact, the Giganews FAQ says *nothing* about
group FAQs.
