19001 - (suggestion) offline mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 8039

(Core :: Networking, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Chris Booton]

If you are in offline mode and are viewing a page that is stored on your hard
drive and on that page there is an image or images that are not stored in your
cache then Netscape will complain that it cannot connectt o the network and tell
you to go into online mode to connect to it. I find this message annoying and
when you are in offline mode instead of doing this what it should do is use a
small "not available while offline" type icon if you are in offline mode and
cannot access an image of other file while offline. This way you know there is a
problem but don't have to get that annoying prompt everytime. Int he case of an
html file when you click on a link to it (if that's what you are doing) then it
could do a simply "not available offline" sign next to the select hand. If you
try to open it with the location box or "open page" then it could do the prompt
that the page is not available offline.
