Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this.?
Running IE on a keyboardless/mouseless/userless machine (to display
train information on overhead monitors). Network goes down, "work
offline" dialog box appears.
Network comes back up, who's going to press the button?
(And yes, I know about PTFB but I'm not allowed to put any third party
software on these machines.)
 
What version of Windows and IE are you using? Is this an IE "work offline"
dialog box or is this a Windows offline dialog box? If the latter, in XP,
go to My Computer...Tools...Folder Options...Offline files and uncheck the
box to disable this.
 
Thanks Jon,

No, it's the IE dialog box.

I *can* get around it by using xmlhttprequest in a try/catch block.
This does work specifically for the data I want to display (train
schedules), but the customer wants to put additional web pages on these
things, and so I need to figure out how to resolve this in a more
general purpose way.

Apologies, Jon, I didn't even answer your question re the versions!
It will probably (because I haven't delivered it yet...) be Win2k pro
and IE 6.
