Hi Guys

Is there a way of testing the clients internet speed using javascript?

Thanks in advance

I guess you could time an HTTP request-response with javascript if that's what you mean.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, yer I guess that would be the best way around it, basically I need to replicate something this but without using flash.
