Thanks Randy,
I just put this very simple web page together and sure, enough on
XP/SP2 IE6 I get a 'lan'
in my IE status bar. (lower/left of browser). Check it out. Also be
weary of any funky line breaks you may get from copying / pasting.
This was included in Script block inside the page's <BODY> tag. Hope
you get positive results out of it.
//Connection Detection v2
var SSClientCaps_wait_interval_01 = null;
var SSModemFound = null;
function SSClientCapsWaitForDOM() {
// need to wait for document before looking up clientCaps
properties
if (document.readyState != "interactive" && document.readyState
!= "complete")
return;
var bodyObjArray = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
var bodyObj = bodyObjArray[0];
if (!bodyObj)
return;
clearInterval(SSClientCaps_wait_interval_01);
bodyObj.style.behavior = "url(#default#clientCaps)";
window.status = bodyObj.connectionType;
if (bodyObj.connectionType!="lan" &&
bodyObj.connectionType!="offline"){
SSModemFound = true;
}
else
{
//nothing.
}
}//end SSClientCapsWaitForDOM()
function SSIntSetter(){
SSClientCaps_wait_interval_01 =
setInterval("SSClientCapsWaitForDOM()", 50);
}//end SSIntSetter
SSIntSetter(); //begins bandwidth detection
</Script>
