navigator.online not working

Please see this code:

if (localStorage.SurveyCompleted == 'True') {
if (navigator.onLine) {
window.location.href = "Splash.htm";
}
else {
pfShowNetworkErrAlert();
}
}

I am faced with a very strange issue.
If i am using my website on 1024 x 768 or 1366 x 768, then the above function works as it should.

BUT, on 1920 x 1080, it always goes in the 'if' part even though my machine is NOT online. What is this weird issue? How do I resolve it?

Test this HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p id="demo">Click the button to see if the browser is online.</p>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<script>
function myFunction()
{
var a = "onLine: "+navigator.onLine;
var b = "<br>appCodeName: "+navigator.appCodeName;
var c = "<br>appName: "+navigator.appName;
var d = "<br>appVersion: "+navigator.appVersion;
var e = "<br>cookieEnabled: "+navigator.cookieEnabled;
var f = "<br>platform: "+navigator.platform;
var g = "<br>userAgent "+navigator.userAgent ;

var x = a+b+c+d+e+f+g;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=x;
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

my browser shows online even though the network cable was unplugged

Your reason "wrong question" is not clear to me. You said your browser showing online even the network is unplugged...that means you still have the issue. Why you wanted to close this question. Did us got the solution?
