Hey guys, I’m taking care of a website for a company that has locations in two general locations (The Philadelphia/NJ area and the DC/VA/MD area) I would like it so when the user clicks “Sales & Events” they are directed to the sales & events at the location they are closest to (Either the Philly/NJ or the DC,VA,MD area) Is there any way to effectively do this or will I need to create some type of gateway page so they can choose their location? I’m sorry if this is not in the right part of the Forum but if this is possible, I don’t know what type of scripting would be used… Thanks for any and all help!

You can use caidad's netgeo service to find a visotr's location based on an ip address:

Let me know how well this works for you.
