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!

<href="/philly-nj/">Philly/NJ Events</a> <a href="dc-va-md/">DC,VA,MD</a>

Would work Ok for me.

hmm yeah but upper management asked if I could do what I had explained....The ads on this site are proof that its possible to some extent arent they? (to my right I see an Atlantic City ad and above was a CLEAR Philadelphia internet ad)

You can to some extent but you will need a database of ALL the IPs that are from "local" to that area. Not a problem for companies with the resources of Google of course.

It is possible however as Chris said you need a database of IPs. You can get one for free at: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity

They offer premium versions which are more accurate however the free version is 79% accurate on a city-basis which isn't too bad for a freebie
