Window: offline event
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The offline event of the Window interface is fired when the browser has lost access to the network and the value of Navigator.onLine switches to false.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
js
addEventListener("offline", (event) => { })
onoffline = (event) => { }
Event type
A generic Event.
Event handler aliases
In addition to the Window interface, the event handler property onoffline is also available on the following targets:
Examples
js
// addEventListener version
window.addEventListener("offline", (event) => {
console.log("The network connection has been lost.");
});
// onoffline version
window.onoffline = (event) => {
console.log("The network connection has been lost.");
};
