Server/Domain Status Checker

[96turnerri]

hi i found this script to display a server status, i wish to edit it so it can be used for any domain name not just one with picture specified heres the orginal code

<script type="text/javascript">
var url = "http://www.yourprivateserver.com/foo.gif";
var img = new Image();
img.src = url;

img.onload = function()
{
// If the server is up, do this.
alert("Server is up!");
}

img.onerror = function()
{
// If the server is down, do that.
alert("Server is down!");
}
</script>

and hers my code


<script type="text/javascript">
var url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/index.htm";
var page = new Image();
page.src = url;

page.onload = function()
{
// If the server is up, do this.
alert("Server is up!");
}

page.onerror = function()
{
// If the server is down, do that.
alert("Server is down!");
}
</script>


if someone could take a look at it and see what im doing wrong that would be great, all i get is server is down, even tho i know the page exists

Thanks

Use an image, rather than a HTML page... :)

yeah i tried that and it works fine but the main aim is to get this to work as a domain name checker, so you enter in a domain name in a textbox press check and it returns an answer searchin for value/index.htm or php etc :rolleyes:

Using a server-side language would be best.
