No, it doesn't. You are sent to MM only if they don't have the

plugin/ActiveX control depending on what code you use.

If they are not connected how are they viewing your site?

If they are off line and trying to connect to your site then it is

normal for a browser to bring up an alert box that tells them that they

can not connect to your site. If the page is still in memory it will

usually allow you to see it from cache. The line that points to MM site

is irrelevant since it is only used if the ActiveX control is not

installed.
