how to display computer hardware informations in html (intranet)?
I'm planning to develop intranet for my office PC inventory where each user will be given the access to the intranet and upon clicking on a button the hardware information of that particular PC is displayed then the user just have to click on "Save" to save in database.
i have a few (http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/Retrievi... ) using javascript but unfortunately the onboarddevice class is not working properly as it does not give any results.
now i'm opting for other solutions available to have this feature in my intranet.
is there any other way to obtain the PC hardware infor mainly (HD size, CPU serial, processor speed, processor type, RAM, removable drives, default printers , IP address, computer name, installed sofwares)

You would need an applet either in Java or ActiveX (Silverlight, Flash etc) which is able to run on the local PC (after the user grants permission or you push it out as a trusted app). This would then allow the local app to read the PC specs.
Alternatively, make a small Java\C application which lives locally on the PC and reports to the central DB\WWW Server.
This is required because a webpage will generally not have access to the PC's hardware spec's (it would not have that level of read access). You need some software which effectively runs as local user rights.
