Just as a note to think outside the box. Javascript alone may not have the ability, but if there is a javascript "solution" for getting Whois onto a website, the details of what is *really* doing the "real work" doesn't really matter. So, there very well may be "javascript whois" out there for someone to plop on their website. If not... maybe someone will create it soon (Nexus begins to rub hands together and the sound of rusty gears begin to whistle through the cold night air).
