Can this be done?

    I've seen it done before, but I'm wondering how accurate and easy it is.

    If I have a product which I want to sell to US and UK audiences, but I want to make the website show up different to the respective locations. So for instance, the US one will show in Dollars and the UK one will show in Pounds.

    How accurate can this be?
    How easy is it to do and what language(s) are required?

    Thanks

    It is fairly accurate as long as you keep your geo-ip database up to date and it is safest to keep a toggle for people to switch between the options too.

    As to languages, .Net, ASP, PHP, JSP, CFM, CGI, take your pick

    yup, need to keep your ip DB up to date, and it'll be fairly accurate - save for obscure ips, or proxies.

    it should also be fairly easily
