client machine MAC id using javascript

pradeepjain

Hi,
I tried to get the MAC ID of client machine using php which was impossible . So wanted to know if there is any way to find MAC ID of client machine using javascript ! Is there any way in both IE and firefox .

not that I’m aware of. besides, why should JS read the MAC address at all (any connectivity is provided by the browser)?

@pradeepjain
that’s because ActiveX goes far deeper into the system than JS ever will.

you could probably get this info in java, i know it can determine local IP addresses...
