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?
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.)

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

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