check if online

hi,

 

i'm not close network, networkprotocolls , co.

 

question:

will safe way check if user 'online' (connected internet wlan or lan or ...)

 

 

var myconnection = new socket(); if(myconnection.open ("www.google.de:80")) {myconnection.close();}else{alert('not connected.')} 

hi,

 

• your code definitly works
• being able connect "google.de" not save definition of being "online".  firewalls, proxies etc can ruin day. 
• rather check connection online service want connect (if google, forget said) .. 

 

regards
