This is an event that fires when a PhoneGap application is online (connected to the Internet).
document.addEventListener("online", yourCallbackFunction, false);
When the application's network connection changes to being online, the online event is fired.
Typically, you will want to attach an event listener with document.addEventListener
once you receive the PhoneGap ‘deviceready’ event.
document.addEventListener("online", onOnline, false); function onOnline() { // Handle the online event }

During initial startup, the first online event (if applicable) will take at least a second to fire.
