simple answer: it is impossible with javascript - and for a good reason - because it would be a security risk. the mac address is something that is a unique identifier of a networkcard - thus would identify a machine. being able to get that id through javascript would allow any website to collect them and then in case could allow to spoof attack with the collected mac addresses.

PS: the point is - what is the purpose that you want to solve with the collection of the mac address - there is for sure a different solution that is doable instead of fishing for the mac addresses.
