I have an HTML link that links to an external site. I want to be able to add a dialog message when the user taps on the link and no internet connection is available. I want to be able to do this using HTML and javascript.

See this example of what I am trying to achieve. Thanks. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r5qgxgjuusr8o1n/2014-07-15-15.20.28.png

  • Why put that in your page? That's already built-in functionality of your browser (which can also give a much more detailed error message)

You could use navigator.onLine; to know whether the browser is in online or offline mode.

The onLine property is supported in all major browsers.

you can execute a javascript function on click of your link that check this property.

  • Using the link for the possible duplicate, you could provide an alternative method to this as well. :)

  • This is the correct way to do it. Just run some sort of timer function or urn javascript on click. Just use: if navigator.onLine; {PERFORM A FUNCTION} else {PERFORM ANOTHER FUNCTION} Worked nicely for me :)
