Hi all, first post.

I have a small business helping people fix computers. I want my webpage to have a section in it that will tell them their computer's:
- Hard drive size
- RAM size
- Processor
- Screen resolution
- Windows/OS X version

I want them to be able to copy and paste that info to an email to me so I can see their system specs.

So what would be the HTML code to show their system specs?

Thanks

You aren't able to access most of that information with a web page. For example there is no way to tell how much hard drive space or RAM the client has.

However the ones you can are:

Windows/OS X version -- Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") returns information about the client's browser. In some cases this includes the OS version.

Screen resolution -- Javascript's screen.width and screen.height return this information.

The rest you don't have access to, either server-side or client-side. You'd have to write an actual application (.exe) to get the other info, you can't do it from a webpage.
