Is there any way to find out if a server is up and then redirecting the user? I understand that this cannot be done using client side javascript, but I'm in desparate need for a solution.

Thanks

If you know there is an image on the page where you want to redirect to, you could do something like this:

<img src="http://server/image.gif" onerror="location.href='noRedirect.html'"
onload="location.href='http://server/index.html'">
