    Web/PC username

    Sorry there doesn't appear to be a web thread.

    Is there a way through javascript that I can get someone's user profile name for who is logged in?

    Moved the thread to the HTML and JS forum.

    The only situation I know of in which a web application can get the user account name is when it is provided to the server if using Internet Explorer and LDAP authentication.

    Then it's sent to the web server as an HTTP header:
    PHP Code:
    $_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] 
    You can actually get it using JavaScript, but only in IE with ActiveX. See the top reply here.

    Also, Mozilla apparently supports this style of authentication, but it needs to be configured manually.
