Javasript req?

i just wondered, does anyone know of a javascript that can handle replacing or not loading a item, for instance a picture or a swf, if the source of the server isnt responding, to reduce load/timouts?
Theres this queer server that doesnt respond at times, and that creates some timeout issues on the page im doing.

this should help. the javascript u're looking for is the one below the 'img' tag(the big image/swf sits here). It should preferably be placed immediately below the 'img' to timeout image loading but can be placed anywhere
<HTML>
<SCRIPT>
var flag=0;//flag set to 1 when image is loaded
var timeoutval=10;//timeout for image load in milliseconds
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
<p>in body1</p>
<img id="img1" onLoad="flag=1;" src="After party boys hang out.jpg"></img>
<script>

function func1(){
if(flag ==1)return;
obj=eval("document.all.img1");
if(obj == null) return;
obj.src="";
obj.alt="sorry";//error message here

}
setTimeout("func1()",timeoutval);

</script>
<p>in body2</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

as long as you can put a id="xxx" on it, i think it can be used for most things.

Besides images, the OnLoad event works for embedded objects( shockwave flash objects, applets) and the document (Body tag ) as a whole. But the onLoad event cannot be used for other tags besides the above. You can however alter attributes of all tags using scripting as the document loads
