userProfile Object

Provides methods that allow a script to request read access to and perform read actions on a user's profile information.

Remarks

The script request is queued before reading or writing is performed. This simplifies user experience, because users are prompted only once for profile release permissions for a batch of requests.

This object is available in script as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0.

Example

This script example runs on the client and uses the userProfile object to read various values from the profile information.

// Queue a request for read access to multiple profile attributes.
navigator.userProfile.addReadRequest("vcard.displayname");
navigator.userProfile.addReadRequest("vcard.gender");

// Request access to the information.
navigator.userProfile.doReadRequest(usage-code, "Acme Corporation");

// Now perform read operations to access the information.
name = navigator.userProfile.getAttribute("vcard.displayname");
gender = navigator.userProfile.getAttribute("vcard.gender");

// The script can now use the 'name' and 'gender' variables
// to personalize content or to send information back to the server.

// Clear the request queue to prepare for future information requests.
navigator.userProfile.clearRequest();
