Advanced JavaScript with Internet Explorer: Retrieving Networking Configuration Information - How to retrieve network client information using JavaScript
(Page 3 of 6 )
The following JavaScript code should support you with some minimum information about the network clients available on your system.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
<script id="clientEventHandlersJS" language="javascript">
<!--
function Button1_onclick() {
var locator = new ActiveXObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var service = locator.ConnectServer(".");
var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkClient");
var e = new Enumerator (properties);
document.write("<table border=1>");
dispHeading();
for (;!e.atEnd();e.moveNext ())
{
var p = e.item ();
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Caption + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Description + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.InstallDate + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Manufacturer + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Name + "</td>");
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
function dispHeading()
{
document.write("<thead>");
document.write("<td>Caption</td>");
document.write("<td>Description</td>");
document.write("<td>InstallDate</td>");
document.write("<td>Manufacturer</td>");
document.write("<td>Name</td>");
document.write("</thead>");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button"
name="Button1" language="javascript" onclick="return Button1_onclick()">
</body>
</html>
The above would automatically list all network clients installed on your computer. The details include caption, description, Install date, manufacturer and name. To retrieve this information, I used a built-in class, “Win32_NetworkClient.”
The “for” loop I used in the above code iterates for every network client present in the system and finally retrieves only the properties of that network client.
