In article <2t*************@uni-berlin.de>,
fd***@yahoo.com enlightened us
with...
I need to put content from web presentation on CD... interface contains
external links (absolute urls..) is there a way to detect if user is
connected to the internet (so if they're not I can pop an alert saying
'sorry, you're not connected...' etc..) this is for CD's that will be
widely distributed/sold.. so needs to be 'bulletproof'... (that it
doesn't by error detect user is not connected if they are and
vice-versa, etc..)
Yes, but not with javascript appropriate to this group.
It would be OS-dependent code. For windows, you could use the windows API to
check that, but that would have to be done in C or VB (J#.net, etc). JScript
in .net is the closest you'll be getting to javascript. ;)
I don't know of any other *reliable* way to check other that that.
