How to check if the user is online using javascript or any library?

Question

I need some help on how I could check the internet connection using Javascript or jQuery or any library if available. cause i\'m developing an offline appl

Answer 1

i think you should try OFFLINE.js.. it looks pretty easy to use, just give it a try.

it even provides the option checkOnLoad which checks the connection immediately on page load.

Offline.check(): Check the current status of the connection.

Offline.state: The current state of the connection 'up' or 'down'

haven't tried it, would be nice to know if it works as intended.

EDIT took a little peak into the code, it uses the method with FAILED XHR REQUEST suggested in THIS SO Question
