1. rewrite to exist in frames where one frame's code checks the other (assuming both pages are from same domain and only one refreshes).
2. if the page is being hosted in a webbrowser control, then its very easy to handle this. if not.. its an idea since it can be whipped together in a few minutes. 3. you can also create a simple ie add-on to watch for this and force nav to a different url which contains embedded script. 4. more of an fyi as I dont recommend it..theres another bad but very quick alternative... but how hacky do you want to get? I dont usually recommend something like this but if its a single system you have complete control over: modify the error page html to do the refresh/recheck (if changing this on the client doesn't have an affect on other things that will use ie). use resource hacker and change the shdoclc.dll file. recompile with resource hacker. there may be an easier registry key to do this but Im not aware of one. warning - theres a potential this could get changed with a system patch. again.. Im not advocating this.. just an fyi. -----Original Message----- From: "Pardee, Roy" Sent: Wed, 05 July 2006 19:03:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Refresh a web page automatically when network connection goes down Would ATLAS (AJAX) be of help here? Have a jscript function on the page attempt to update just the relevant bits of a page (maybe along with an "information as of " label) and fail silently if the server isn't available right that second. I've not messed w/ATLAS myself, but it looks hella-slick... -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Ritchie Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Refresh a web page automatically when network connection goes down If the web page is displayed in a normal browser and the refresh is done through META tags, then the previous answers are correct. There's not much you can do. Adding javascript to see if the site is available before showing it will reduce the refresh time. If you're hosting the page in a .NET application then you can subscribe to the NetworkAvailabilityChanged event or use the GetIsNetworkAvailable method. But, both relate to whether the network card is connected, not whether Internet or Intranet access is available. -- Peter Microsoft MVP Visual Development - C# http://www.peterRitchie.com/Blog On Wed, 5 Jul 2006 13:08:19 -0400, Eddie Lascu wrote: >Hello Experts, > >This may not be such an advances .NET topics, but I don't have any >other place where to ask my silly question.
