Client system details

Question

Is there anyway of getting client system details like cpu speed, RAM details etc? Does javasctipt has this capablity?

Answer 1

Nope, you cannot do this in javascript because of security matters. What you can get is a system name and version, browser name, screen resolution etc., but not hardware specs.

Answer 2

No, using javascript that's not possible.

But what you can do is use a java applet or even a flex application. For this, the user will have to give you permission to access his computer details, with a simple "Allow" or "Deny" access dialog, raised automatically by java/flex.
