[Javascript] Detecting that a page is accessible

[Esther_Strom at hmco.com]

I don't know about detecting that in javascript, and I don't know if you
can detect a server being down (the code would be sitting on that server,
wouldn't it?), but for page inaccessability (on a working server), you
could create a custom 404 (or other error) page that has the redirect code
in its onLoad event.

Here's a site with lots of info on custom error pages:

Hi all,

Is it possible in JavaScript to detect a page / server not being
accessible.

I am, aiming to do this so that I can redirect user to either my webserver
if active and connected to the internet or to a free WebPages server, which
mirrors my webserver.
In other words a failure and redirect script.

thanks

Robert Fernando
