Check Internet connectivity with jquery

Question

I am trying to check for the internet connection by sending a GET request to the server. I am a beginner in jquery and javascript. I am not using navigator.onLine

Answer 1

100% Working:

function checkconnection() {
    var status = navigator.onLine;
    if (status) {
        alert('Internet connected !!');
    } else {
        alert('No internet Connection !!');
    }
}
