The online event of the Window interface is fired when the browser has gained access to the network and the value of Navigator.onLine switches to true.
Note: This event shouldn't be used to determine the availability of a particular website. Network problems or firewalls might still prevent the website from being reached.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("online", (event) => {});
ononline = (event) => {};
Event type

console.log("You are now connected to the network.");
};
