We are playing around with an idea of wanting to automatically capture a computer name that the form is being submitted from. There are several different ways to go about it, but I'm not very familiar with JavaScript yet (currently working on it.)

If you type in a web browser http://%computername% then it will display your computer name. I was wondering if, using JS, I can load that in the background, where the user doesn't notice it and capture it with a Variable. I then want the variable content to be sent in the email, along with the other parts of the form.

Is there a better way to capture a users computer name?
