Can javascript get the SSID of the current WiFi connection?

Question

I need to get the SSID of the currently connected WiFi Network (if it is wifi). Is this possible?

I saw something on it here (http://www.w3.org/TR/system-info-api/#n

It is not possible as of this time. However PhoneGap does let you build plug-ins that will accomplish this task.

There is currently one available from HondaDai under the MIT license located at https://github.com/HondaDai/PhoneGap-WifiInfoPlugin.

** and it works beautifully. After I figured out how it works. His example on how to get the SSID that shows wifi.SSID as a variable is incorrect. It is actually wifi.activity.SSID as there are two JSON objects in the return and I wanted to access the one title activity.
