display an IP address using javascript. Thanks in advance.

No. JS has no way of determining the IP Address so it has no way to
display it, on its own.

Actually, it sneaks in a simple line of php coding to do it.
I have seen some total javascripts do the trick.
Question is will they actually detect the true IP of the visitor's machine
or not?
To better trap the IP would be best done server side with php.

That site does not use JS to get the IP Address, only to display it. It
relies on server side scripting to attempt to get the IP Address. Before
attempting to correct me in the future, try actually reading (and
understanding) what I said. You do know though that they have a *reason*
for calling you RtS?

Actually, its not PHP, but it is a server side scripting language.
PHP code does not start:
<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->

PHP tags either start with <? or <?PHP

No you haven't. But you are welcome to *attempt* to prove me wrong.

Doesn't matter since IP addresses are as worthless as the hairs on a
chicken's ass.

To better trap the IP would be best done server side with php.

And if a user does not have PHP available? Hmmmm

document.write("123.456.1.1");

Is it about displaying "an" IP or
about determining what your own IP is?

The server often sees another IP adres [router, proxi],
than your browser uses.

Serverside asp example using clientside javascript to display:

document.write("<%=request.servervariables("remote_addr")%>");

With pure clientside javascript it is impossible, I believe.
