Is there a way to detect were a visitor is from and then redirect them to aspecific page designed for there country?
I think it has to do with: REMOTE_HOST or REMOTE-ADDR?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can get the users preffered language using...
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
This returns "en-gb" which is the language code for me in the uk so if you had a list of the codes and their relative countries you could make a reasonable assumption as to their whereabouts.
REMOTE_HOST or REMOTE-ADDR will only return thier IP address.
its not going to be exact but its all i can think of...
heres a list of the codes..
msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/language_codes.asp
