NetworkInformation.ontypechange

The NetworkInformation.ontypechange event handler is a property containing the code to execute when the typechange event, of type Event, is received by this NetworkInformation instance. That event is sent by the browser to let content know that the value of the NetworkInformation.type attribute has changed.

Syntax

networkinformation.ontypechange = function;

Values

• function is the name of a user-defined function, without the () suffix or any parameters, or an anonymous function declaration, such as function(event) {...}.  An event handler always has a single parameter: an event object, of type Event in this case.

Example

// Get the connection type.
var type = navigator.connection.type;

function changeHandler(e) {
  // Handle change of connection type here.
}

// Register for event changes:
navigator.connection.ontypechange = changeHandler;

// Another way:
navigator.connection.addEventListener('typechange', changeHandler);

Specifications

Although present in some drafts, this is not part of any standard.
