Re: Suppress Browser Alert

I have a page that tries to forward the page using javascript every

lose internet connection it would appear to the user as though nothing
has changed and try to refresh again in a minute.  I have everything
working except for if the computer loses internet connection it throws
up a browser error that the page cannot be reached.  Is there anyway to
suppress that browser alert message with javascript or some other
option?  The code I am use looks like this:

try {
window.location.href="nextpage.html";
}
catch(err) {
reset the counter
}

As I said the counter itself works.  The problem is that it pops up the
alert and I can't have it do that.  It needs to appear as though
nothing has happened to the user.

Any thoughts?


There is a Jim Ley tutorial here on XMLHttpRequest that includes how to determine if a URL is available or not:
