[whatwg] isBrowserOnline vs navigator.onLine

[Erik Arvidsson]

Both IE and Mozilla supports navigator.onLine to detect whether the user 
agent is in on line or off line mode. Would it not be better to use this 
existing solution instead of adding a new attribute to the Window interface?

I just tested navigator.onLine in Firefox and it
returned undefined. I used
javascript:alert(navigator.onLine). It works in IE. Is
it supposed to work in Firefox? How does a user move
into offline mode in that browser?

Best,
  Brad

 WebKit now supports this too (not released yet, but
 in our tip of

That works for me in Firefox 1.5b2.
