GeoIP location with javascript

I’ve found a way to do this in PHP, but I need to know if it is possible to do in javascript:

[B]PHP:[/B]

[CODE]$ip = ($_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”]);
$country = file_get_contents(“http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip=”.$ip);[/CODE]

How could I do this in Javascript?

@TheBearMayJan 17.2009 — Javascript can't read outside of it's domain so you will still will need something like that server side to read another site, but you could use AJAX to communicate with the server side code.

@transparenciaauthorJan 17.2009 — Hmmm, ok. Could I use Javascript to connect to a PHP file and then execute server-side code?

The reason I ask this is that I have an index.html page and I want to run this particular code in it. But for that I would have to change its extension to PHP, and I don't want to do that because I would lose some inbound links as well as the site would have to be completely remodeled.

PS: I tried using .htaccess to make HTML executed like PHP, but no luck.
