I am writing a short series of pages that I want to behave differently 
when online/offline.  They will be loaded using IE5.5.

The pages will *always* load as local files.

When online, they will load in sequence using a script of
onLoad="location.url=page2[3,4]" also loading a series of IFRAMES in 
each page.

Then I want to detect when the browser is offline (ie "Work Offline" is 
selected) and in that case block the above scripts so that the page 
loaded will not load/switch to  the next in sequence. They will in this 
case fill the IFRAMES from the history cache.

Can this be done ?

Any ideas or pointers would be most welcome

Thanks friends
