Getdeviceip() maybe there is a solution!!!

Question

I finally think of a way to get a around it. It is not very efficient, but it kind of work.
what I did was I save the text from cisco devicelistx to an xml file in my computer. I wrote a function the load that xml file and parse the ip out and return it. Here is my version of getIP()
[CODE]
function getIP(phone){
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
var IPaddr
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.load("c:\\CiscoIPservices\\ASP\\includes\\devicelist.xml");
var xmlObj = xmlDoc.documentElement;
for(var i=0; i<xmlObj.childNodes.length; i++){
//look for the correct phone
if(xmlObj.childNodes(i).getAttribute("n") == phone){
//find the phone. "i" holding the position of where the phone is in the filelist
IPaddr = xmlObj.childNodes(i).getAttribute("i");
return IPaddr;
return false;
[/CODE]

A solution for what? You'll still have to update that XML file regularly or your getIP method returns stale data.
