I think this will work:
I would consider using a value significantly less than 30. Maybe 5-10 seconds. Most users won't wait 30 seconds for a page to load, browsers will stop trying after too long, and the server will kill the script if it takes too long.. If the server doesn't output enough of the page, this script will also fail. The only time it will work is if you have a server side script that takes too long, either due to server load or the script taking too long.Code:<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript> var t = setTimeout("timeout()", 30000); // function timeout() will be called after 30000ms (30s) function timeout() { var node = document.createTextNode("This is your error message"); document.getElementById("error").appendNode(node); } </script> </head> <body> <p id="error"></p> <!-- other stuff will be happening here. Hopefully it will time out here and not sooner :) --> <script type="text/javascript"> clearTimeout(t); // cancel the error script </script> </body> </html>

Wow!
As usual, garrettroyce doesn't just answer questions for people, he completely obliterates the question. Even producing all the coding isn't too much trouble for him. Nice.
I'm tempted to ask him to solve the Meaning of Life for me, when he's got a spare minute. ;)

Now, you just need the question (any Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy fans?)
I've been thinking some more about your problem. My guess is you want to have something if X10 is having problems, not because your site is running some really really massive program. In that case, I think you would be better using multiple hosts and providing the nameservers of both hosts to your domain registrar.
I'll walk you through this process if I'm right ;)

The idea is, if your page starts to load then stops for a long time, an error message will pop up. This will not work, however, if the server is so overloaded and the connection times out. The only time it will probably work is if your script takes too long to execute.
What you can do is have another hosting account at another free host and use both at the same time to display your site. So, if one goes down, the other will still work. However, if you do this, then you have to keep them up to date with each other. If you have a forum, this becomes impossible; just go to paid ;)

lol, i see the problems with it and they look like they wont allow me to do that, awesome as the idea is. Could i have it redirect to a link of my chosing if the server were to time out or is that not possible?

Instead of outputting text to the browser, you could redirect. But, I think you will have the same problems as before. The primary problem for pages is the server does not output anything, not the server only outputting half a page.
I'd be happy to help you with your mmorpg, just as soon as I'm done with my own project ;)
