Ok. I share a website with my friend. I need a script to access one webserver(mine), and if my webserver is not running, it needs to switch to a second webserver(my friends). Is there a script that can do this or will someone do this for me?

That wouldn't be possible with javascript. I'm not sure if it could be done some other way or not. I think maybe you could set up your domain to link to your server as the primary and your friends as the secondary, but I'm not sure.

Well is there a way to close a remote window? Like right now the first page is set up to open my webserver and then after 10 seconds it opens my friends webserver. I used: <body onLoad="javascript:openwindow('http://169.254.....');"> then: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=http://68.235....">
So if my webserver responds it will close the other window above^. Is it something like <body onLoad="javascript:closewindow('Window name or adress here');"> ????

There is, but it only works if you opened the window. The other problem with that is if your site isn't there, it won't open anyway. That's why I don't think it will work any other way. :) But, if you want to close a window, it is like this:

windowname.close();

Just in case you still want that for something. Another thing about that is you can only do it if it is on the same domain, so...
