That actually checks whether the browser is in offline mode. You can set this mode (in Firefox at least) via File -> Work offline. The browser will also monitor network interfaces and switch to offline mode if none (except loopback) are up. But fundamentally it's about the state of the browser ("... must return false if the user agent will not contact the network ...") not about whether your computer has "internet access" in any meaningful sense. hp -- _ | Peter J.
