i have a website in html.i want visitors only from usa & canada.
Others visitors needs to redirect to error page.

Suppose a visitor is from USA/CANADA lands on my website on url "http://www.ABC.com/xyz/pqr.html".then page should open properly. But if a visitos is other than USA/CANADA visits on same url then visitor need to redirect to "http://www.ABC.com/404.html".

That is one Thing! ;)
What about all those USians and Canadians visiting OP's Website when being neither in the USA nor in Canadia. Hmmmmm

Oh, yes!
By the way, please see my comments below.
Discrimination cannot help anyone by definition, I do think so...

Sorry Sergey,if i hurted you. but actually i used to run ads on google adwords and my services are for us/canda only. but i used to get fraud clicks from my competitors(by proxy)or from other countries ip.

No, you did not hurt me at all, but this is not a way to fight fraught or anything. How a discrimination can ever help anyone?

Well, suppose you deliver only to US and Canada and accept certain form of payment. If someone orders something and pays using proper payment system, what's the difference where this person is located in the moment of making an order? And so long, so forth... Just think about it.

And why do you think IP filtering can help you to prevent fraud? I'm afraid this is at least a bit naive... :-)

If someone is really bent on hiding where they come from there is really nothing you can do about it. Don't believe me?

This is not a matter of javascript or html5. It is a server side concern. You need a GEOIP service to translate the client ip to geographic location and redirect if necessary. Checking IP ranges might be also a solution: http://www.proxyforest.com/e-allocate.htm[^]
