PAC files

Hi, I have a Javascript .pac file being used as an autoconfiguration proxy script that points to my proxy server. I am trying to test something & I need to have the IP address returned as a messagebox or display, like a cout in C++, is there a way to accomplish this in Javascript pac files?

I thought just using else return (myIpAddress) would work but it does not. any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is my code:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0"))
return "PROXY 192.168.1.1:8080";

}

do you have any UI elements you can print the message to? example:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadMessage() {
  document.getElementById('test').value=FindProxyForURL('example.com');
}
</script>

<body>

<textarea id="test"></textarea>
</body>
</html>

what is a .pac file?

Hi, thanks for your reply, I don't think I have any UI elements I can plug it into, I don't know javascript all that well, a pac file is simply a javascript file with a .pac extension that is put into Internet Explorer in Connections, LAN settings, Use autoconfiguration script. IE then looks at this file for proxy server info & directs traffic to it. Just lookup .pac files ina search.
