    copied!<p>I have a simple HTML page internally which just displays a form and asks the user to fill it out. I want to automatically capture the windows domain username and machine name to submit it together with the data collected in the form.</p> <p>Can I do that on the client side? HTML? JavaScript? Or am I forced to do it on the server side (which I don't know how to do... yet)</p> <p>Users have XP and 7 machines and IE7,8.</p> <p>BTW, I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/342088/getting-domain-username-for-web-app-on-intranet-without-loggin-in">this article</a> but I have to confess I don't know where in the page you would enter that "code".</p> <p>Here's the code I'm using that is not working. It calls the JavaScript function, and displays <code>"Username="</code> and in the next line <code>"Done."</code>, but doesn't display the username.</p> <p>And if using Chrome, it displays <code>&lt;%HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name%&gt;</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script&gt; function get_user_Name() { var username = '&lt;%HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name%&gt;'; document.write("Username="); document.write(username); document.write(" &lt;br&gt; Done."); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Training and Development Site&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link href="~/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;a href="add-number-to-dnc.html"&gt;Add Phone Number to Dialer Do Not Call list&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;button type="button" onclick="get_user_Name()"&gt;Display User Name&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Also - <strong>I'm using WebMatrix / IIS7 Express</strong></p>
