IP address

so, i am trying to teach myself html. and I found this scripting on a website. is there any way i can use this to show users that i know what their IP address is? is this even html? could some one tell me exactly what this means? please, help me get this to work. im not sure whether you can reformat this or something, i dont care, just get it to work.

</div>
</td>

<td width='170' valign='top' class='side-border-right'>
<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='100%' class='border'>
<tr>
<td class='scapmain'>Current IP Address</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='side-body'>
<div style='text-align:center' class='small'>We know your IP address is 207.172.188.149. Please behave yourself while in here.</div></td>
</tr>

This code above is only pure text. Not sure if that can be done at all in HTML, maybe you'll need javascript here - I'm by far no expert with this. I can just tell you the code you provided here is not dynamic - it will always show the 207.172. etc... regardless of the real IP of the visitor.

yeah, i wasn't sure at all either.

Heres a little something managed to come up with, feel free to use it.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
VIH_BackColor = "black";
VIH_FontPix = "11";
VIH_DisplayFormat = "<font color=#7072cb><br>We know your IP address is %%IP%% so be sure to follow all the rules. </font>";
VIH_DisplayOnPage = "yes";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://scripts.hashemian.com/js/visitorIPHOST.js.php"></script>

just change to colors to match your site, and your done!

hi! can i use it too? and if i can where should i paste/put it?

It is HTML. The format is wrong, but it is HTML.
The "div" is the main container for the page. The rest of the code is for a Table structure.
