JavaScript检测用户是否离线

Question

I'm currently working on a web application. I'm using Appcache. So what I want to do is actually dead simple: If the user loads the page without an internet connection, he'll see a button with the text "offline", otherwise with the text "online". My first approach was to use offline.js, but it wasn't correctly detecting when the user was on/offline.

So I've tried this code:

function serverReachable() {
    // IE vs. standard XHR creation
    var x = new (window.ActiveXObject || XMLHttpRequest)("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"),
        s;
    x.open(
        // requesting the headers is faster, and just enough
        "HEAD",
        // append a random string to the current hostname,
        // to make sure we're not hitting the cache
        "//" + window.location.hostname + "/?rand=" + Math.random(),
        // make a synchronous request
        false
    );
    try {
        x.send();
        s = x.status;
        // Make sure the server is reachable
        return (s >= 200 && s < 300 || s === 304);
        // catch network & other problems
    } catch (e) {
        return false;
    }
}

But it seems, that XHR-Requests will fail when the page is loaded via AppCache. Using navigator.onLine is no option, because most of our users are using Chrome.

Is there a solution? Thank you

navigator.onLine 确实可以在Chrome中使用。
