JavaScript 用于 Chrome 扩展 - 获取 Windows 用户名

Question

I am working on a Chrome extension, where in my JavaScript function should identify the logged in Windows username.

I want to access Windows' username within JavaScript and display it in my Chrome extension web page.

I tried following <script> , this works well in IE. Is there any equivalent way possible with the Chrome browser?

function GetUserName()
    {
        var wshell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
        alert(wshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%"));
    }

Please let me know any built-in method to extract the username.

Answer 1

You're using ActiveX which is only available in IE . In my opinion you should never be able to access information like this from within a browser (and usually can't). I doubt there is a solution which functions like you want.
