Is is possible in javascript to get the hostname of the client where the script is running? How?
I am not talking about the url.

1No, it is not possible. Also, this question has been asked multiple times on Stack Overflow; in the future please search before posting. – Danny Beckett Apr 12 '13 at 07:21

(I have searched (albeit shortly), and nothing interesting popped up). Really?! That is surprising! Any rationale for that? – blueFast Apr 12 '13 at 07:23

It poses a security risk. It is only possible through the use of Internet Explorer and an ActiveX control. – Danny Beckett Apr 12 '13 at 07:24

Also possible with an applet – Ian Apr 12 '13 at 07:31
