New to html > and have a question or 2 :S

OK, i've made one your two websites in the past.
what im wanting to do is...

1>Im gonna make a website that displays my IP address for my friends to beable to log onto my game server.

2>I also want to know if there is anyway to request a website, if it fails then try again 5minutes or so later, and display an img, if it is sucessful have another image displayed and again try again in five minutes.

3>if possible have it so the ip address is only displayed when a person enters a password (not a biggy though)

thanks, let me know if this is possible or not, its just a little project ive decided to try and 98% of my projects either fail or dont get finished so im not fussed.

Is everything you said possible? Sure.

Although why do you think this question fits in the HTML/CSS forum?

For one website to make a request to another, you can use Javascript's XMLHttpRequest to do the job.

As to the IP Address, if this website is hosted on the same server that the game server is, you can hit WhatIsMyIp.Com's Automation Page with the XMLHttpRequest to get your current IP Address. This is assuming that you don't have a static IP.

As to the password thing, you can't securely implement a password unless you use some server side technology, such as ASP, PHP, or JSP. So, you could code a password in with Javascript, but it would be visible to anyone who views the source of your page. So forget about the password for now unless you know some server coding tech.

Hope that helps. The experts in the Javascript forum will be able to help you with XMLHttpRequests, but they will expect you to have a basic knowledge of what you are doing. Look it up and try to learn it yourself first.
