Remarks
As of Windows Internet Explorer 7, this object is obsolete and should not be used.
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.
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 later information requests.
navigator.userProfile.clearRequest();
