[Javascript] Time & day-based redirects?

[Walter Torres]

Well, the best way to handle this is to have a small web server that takes
over between 2 and 7.

This is the only way to gaurenty the user gets what you want them to get.

After all, client side JS uses the clients machine time, so you can't
control that, it (most likely) will be in a different time zone, and it may
be *wrong*!

You can use ASP/PHP because your server is down from 2 to 7, then ASP/PHP
needs a server to operate.

So, second server givng a single page that tells the user waht you want to
tell them.

    And also the fact that if the page truly cannot be found, I don't
believe
    you're going to have much luck sending something to the client since,
well,
    the server's down.

      That should be better done with a server-side script language like ASP
or PHP, because with Javascript you will be checking the time on the client
side, and because when your server is at 2AM - 7AM, visitors from all over
the world will be on different times...

      Every Monday morning between 2AM and 7AM our server goes down (for
backup reasons).  Does anyone know of a JS script (or another language if
necessary) that would redirect based upon day and time?  This way the
temperamental user would see a "we'll be back at 7AM" screen, instead of
"page cannot be displayed" and then they freak out and start dissecting
their PC :)



      Thanks in advance for your help!





      Sincerely,
      Thomas McCoy
