How to find a users domain wheather the user is in canada or the usa and the redirect them to a file based on a specfic link they click, in Javascript

Question

This is my code im not the most experienced in javascript.

var x = document.domain;

function myFunction() {

    if(x == "usa"){
      window.location = "usafile"
    }
    elseif(x == "canada"){
      window.location = "canadafile"
    }
}

You can look their ip up in any ip to location service (hostip.info, maxmind). This will be accurate most of the time.
