HTML Form IPtoCountry Sample Source Code
Network Component provides an easy-to-use development interface to a variety of IP protocols. By using Network Component, you can very easily create or enhance applications with network features.
Network Component features the following: DNS, FTP, HTTP, HTTPs, ICMP Ping, IP-to-Country, MSN, NTP, RSH, SCP, SFTP, SNMP v1/v2c (Get, GetNext, Set), SNMP Traps, SNMP MIB, SSH, TCP, Telnet, TFTP, UDP, Telnet, Wake-On-LAN and more.
Network Component can be well integrated into any development platform that supports ActiveX objects.
Step 1: Installation of Network Component
Download Network Component from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.
When using HTML, there are two ways to install the Network Component on a client PC:
- Automatically using HTML code;
- Using the Network Component InstallShield installation.
Automatic installation using HTML code
You can install the Network Component automatically using the following HTML code on top of the HTML page:
<head>
<object codebase="https://www.activexperts.com/files/network-component/3.1/AxNetwork32.cab"
classid="CLSID:B52B14BA-244B-4006-86E0-2923CB69D881" ></object>
</head>
The Network Component will be installated automatically. The user will be asked to confirm the installation, because the DLL is coming from an untrusted site (www.activexperts.com).
There are two ways to avoid prompting:
- Add the ActiveX/COM location to the user's trusted sites. You can manage trusted manually (by using the Internet Explorer), through a logon script (by appyling the registry change from the logon script) or by using Active Directory Group Policies;
- OR use a trusted location for the DLL. For instance your Intranet site, because most probably this site has already been added to the list of trusted sites for all users.
Manual installation using the Network Component installation procedure
On each client PC, download the Network Component from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.
Step 2: Create the Network Component object in HTML/JavaScript
You must use Javascript to declare and create the objects.
Use the following Javascript code to declare and create the object:
var objIPtoCountry; objIPtoCountry = new ActiveXObject ( "AxNetwork.IPtoCountry" );
