I tried that without the if (see code above) and the error isn't
thrown.
I also used a Jquery JSONP library, and there the error is thrown
(immediately) when the user is offline.
I'm trying to get that same behavior. Adding my own timeout has as
disadvantage that I'd have to wait for that, while the error should
happen immediately when the user is offline.
Any idea's are welcome.
Thanks!
PanMan.
