Yes! I didn't even know about navigator.onLine. I have changed the 
definition to use that instead of adding something new. (I've left the two 
events in, though; does IE have events for that too? I couldn't find any.)

It certainly works in recent trunk builds. You can go offline using File | 
Work Offline.

That works for me in Firefox 1.5b2.


Is it supposed to work in Firefox? How does a user  move into offline
mode in that browser?


File>Work Offline

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,

WebKit now supports this too (not released yet, but in our tip of  
tree it does).

[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?
