23435 - Implement navigator.onLine

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Offline use will eventually be included in Mozilla. So why not include a
property in the navigator object already now that states wheather Mozilla is
offline or online. IE has this
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/online.asp
)

It might as well be the same as in IE:
navigator.onLine
- TRUE is online
- FALSE if offline

We don't have offline browsing in 5.0 yet. All RFE's that probably won't be done
are going to be latered. Cc:ing Eric Krock if he wants to change the
designation. Sorry.

Verified.

Since it's now possible to work Offline this bug should be easily fixed.

Hi Henrik -- Doesn't matter if it's the easiest "nice to have" in the world. All 
"nice to have" enhancements are now FUTURE; Netscape does not have the resources 
to work on "nice to haves" at this point. Reassigning to [e-mail] and 
marking FUTURE. No Netscape resources will be allocated to this prior to 
FCS. (Also, I think a policy needs to be defined explaining what kinds of info 
will be exposed as navigator object properties; if we do this one, we could open 
a Pandora's Box of other RFEs of this kind, so we need a rational policy 
defined.)

RFE cleanup. RFE is already indicated by the Severity field...Sorry for the 
spam!

Again, is this something we want?  This should be pretty simple to implement, if so.

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Yeah, I'd have no problems with Mozilla supporting this.
