OK. Back to my first effort. Some progress with this:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">'."\n";
echo '<!--'."\n";
echo 'if (!window.google || !google.gears)'."\n";
echo '{'."\n";
echo 'location.href="http://gears.google.com/?action=install&message=Welcome
Please install Google Gears to enable offline
browsing&return=http://www.researchanddeliver.com";'."\n";
echo '}'."\n";
echo '// -->'."\n";
echo '</script>'."\n";
The two things that are not working are I can't include src="gears_init.js"
otherwise this snippet gets ignored and carry onto application, and after
installing gears, the if statement is not being checked subsequently. So
even if gears is installed I am taken to the Install Gears web page.
What next?
