The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I get a client's country through their IP address with Google API?

Asked by jamesbcox1980 in JavaScript, Web APIs, Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: asp, javascript, ip address, geolocation

I need to hide certain products that are not allowed to be sold outside the U.S.  We found a way to stop them from checking out with the products in their cart, but we would like to hide them from the customer to begin with.

I can get the ip address through ASP, and the I was planning to use the Google API to find their Country name, but I couldn't find a script that I could extract that from, not to mention I just didn't understand that.

Anyway, I need to find a small AJAX function that will get the country code based on the IP Address that I specify using:

<script type="text/javascript">
function get_Country_Name(ip)
{
    var country_name;
    ...some code to get country name
 
    return country_name;
}
 
var ap_user=new Array();
ap_user['ip_address'] = '<%= Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") %>';
ap_user['country'] = get_Country_Name(ap_user['ip_address']);
 
bakeCookie('CountryName',ap_user['country'],10000); //cookie script defined elsewhere
</script>
