(ajax) myIP javascript

ajax-myIP()

an AJAX Javascript method to get the IP address

[ My IP address is 38.107.179.239 ]

This was an early attempt at creating an AJAX technique for setting google_adtest='on'; based on IP address values.
It is now obsolete and kept here only for reference purposes.

Please the current version of myIP instead.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

if( myIP() ) google_adtest='on';

google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000000";

google_ad_width = 468;

google_ad_height = 60;

google_ad_format = "468x60_as";

google_ad_type = "text_image";

google_ad_channel ="2380527166";

google_color_border = "EFEFEF";

google_color_bg = "EFEFEF";

google_color_link = "0000FF";

google_color_url = "0000FF";

google_color_text = "000000";

//--></script>

<script type="text/javascript"

</script>

Most of the AJAX examples found in the wild are asynchronous or non-blocking but these would not fit this case as we need the reply back from the server (is it my IP?) before the page is finished loading. Many examples mention synchronous requests in passing but there are a few extra details to consider, particularly with regard to Netscape.

example-myIP.js

myIP client Javascript

var arMask = new Array();
// set your IP address(es) in the array arMask
  arMask[0] = new Array('127','220','63','*');   // home
  arMask[1] = new Array('127','44','222','130');  // office
  arMask[2] = new Array('127','51','56','*');   // wireless

// optional border around ads
  var bShowBorder=true;

if( rtn && bShowBorder )
    {
v = '<div';
v = v + ' style="';
v = v + ' padding:2px;';
v = v + ' background-color: #ffff66;';
v = v + ' border:dashed 1px #ff6666;';
v = v + '">';
      document.write(v);
    }

return rtn;
  }

The server portion is extremely simple as all it has to do is echo the IP address. It does need to reside in the current directory as perceived by the script to avoid triggering a permission elevation request.

get_ip_address.php

myIP php server script


<?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?>

So to pull it all together and implement myIP() there are just a few things to be done:

put a copy of get_ip_address.php in the current directory
put a copy of example-myIP.js in the current directory as ip.js then edit so it is set with your own IP address(es) Or optionally, you can also pass a single address or a comma-delimited list of addresses as an argument to the function like this myIP('127.0.0.*,10.1.1.1');
load the client javascript. I like to do it this way:
<script language="javascript" src="ip.js"></script>
Add the call to the myIP function in your AdSense scripts right before the publisher ID.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
if( myIP() ) google_adtest='on';
// to prove to yourself it is actually working
// uncomment the next line
// if( google_adtest='on' ) alert('google_adtest=on');
google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000000";
...

If you have installed it, set it up correctly with your IP address and you have the left the variable bShowBorder set to its default value of 'true' then you should see a distinctive yellow border around your ads something like the sample on the left whenever you are looking at your own pages from one of your own IP's ... so if you see the border you can relax because if you accidentally click on one of your own ads now, it's no big deal.
