    Hi everyone,

    I am currently serving a website from my own computer at home - to the web. I link to this website from another website which is on my ISP's server because my computer is not always on.

    Does anyone know if there is a script that would be able to show the viewers if my site is "live" or not? Any help is mopst appreciated!

    Thanks

    I would include a script from your computer on the ISP website, then put that in an if statement, so it would be like:

    if(you can get the script)
    {
    // live link
    print "<a href='...'>Link</a>";
    }
    else
    {
    // not live link
    print "site is down!"
    }

    something like that..

    A javascript include from your computer that simply writes the link itself would work...
    Wouldn't even need an if statement...

    That sounds great livingearth, but I have no idea how to write javascript. Would you be able to give me an example perhaps?
    Thanks
