Title: TEST
|
so you want to check if the server is available
before refreshing the page?
something like this:
function refreshme(){
var ping= new
Image()
ping.>
ping.src='http://www.theServer.com/imageThatExistsOnTheServer.gif'
}
function _refreshme(){
// do the refreshing
here
}
Without actually testing this, I think it should
work.

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] webapp testing for
server
I've got a webapp rather than a webpage; the user keeps the
browser
window around for
a while. I'd like the javascript ot
periodically refresh the page by
reloading the page. All is
great unless
the server is down or the user has an intermittent internet
connection
(modem, etc.).
In that case the user gets one of these message windows
telling them
that they can not
connect to the server. Since the user did
not explicilty request a
connection, such a message
window is at best
confusing and at worse, if the user goes away for the
weekend, could
fill
up the user's screen with message windows.
This could be done
with Java but I'd first like to know if it can be
done with just
javascript.
Attached is a very small html page with calls
window.location.replace to
an
non-existing server, thus demonstrating
the problem.
On netscape the replace() method is a native method so one
can not
rework its inner guts.
Thanks.
