 > Gary: I've just see your last comment. WebKit doesn't make different
 between being connected to internet or not. It just says: "Cannot resolve
 hostname (google.com)" and the error code is always "2".

 not and make that difference. Any idea?

 Blast, I hoped webkit had some hooks. I had a quick look at using
 javascript testing navigator.onLine, but that always seems to be reporting
 that our browser is online (even when it isn't), and most other scripts
 'phone home' to their servers to test for internet access (which is not a
 general enough solution for us). Let me reword the dialogue message and we
 just go with the one type of message webkit currently provides. Will
 attach another mockup with the rewording.
