Refreshing web page until a connection is restored

Hi,

Sometime ago I was working on a script that continually refreshed the browser if the connection was lost with the server. The help I received was great and I thank all those people who took the time to lend a hand.

I have now got the same issue with a slight difference, the script below refreshed an iFrame which works fine.

My question is can this script be made to work on a normal web page (without an iFrame).

[code]
<script type=’text/javascript’>

(function ( img, ifId, wait, notify )
{
var iObj = new Image(),
theIframe = document.getElementById( ifId ),
ifHref = theIframe.contentWindow.location.href;

iObj.onerror = function()
{
dt( ‘Attempting iframe reload @ ‘ + new Date().getTime() );

try{ theIframe.contentWindow.location.href = ifHref; }catch( e ){ dt( ‘Access Error ‘ + new Date().getTime() ); };

setTimeout( test, wait );
}

iObj.onload = function()
{
dt( ‘Load OK’ );

setTimeout( test, wait );
}

function test()
{
try{ ifHref = theIframe.contentWindow.location.href; }catch( e ){};

iObj.src = img + ‘?t=’ + new Date().getTime();
}

function dt(s){ if(notify)document.title = s;}

test();

})( ‘myimage.gif’, ‘if1’, 2000, true );

</script>
[/code]

Many thanks if you can spare the time to help.
