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]
