I am trying to create a form that will email me through my app, however, I only want to show it if the user is connected to wifi...

<script type="text/javascript">

var myJSONObject = {
    "data":{
        "hasCapability":[
            "network.wlan"
        ],
    }
}
   // Check if we have GPS capability
   if (blackberry.system.hasCapability("network.wlan")) {
		document.write('YOU ARE ON WIFI');	
   }
   	else { 
	document.write('YOU ARE NOT ON WIFI')
	}

</script>

 This is what I have right now.

This is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets"
version="999.999.999">
<name>Test</name>
<authorId>bbthemelab</authorId>
<author>bbthemelab</author>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<feature id="blackberry.system" />
<rim:orientation mode="landscape" />
<icon rim:hover="false" src="appicon.png"/>
<content src="index.html"/>
</widget>

So, the apps kinda works. When I load it on my playbook, it reads YOU ARE ON WIFI. However, when I flip the switch on my wifi, it continues to read YOU ARE ON WIFI. I also tried to close the app and reload it, and it continue to reads YOU ARE ON WIFI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I should learn to keep trying and trying before I go ahead and come on here...

<script type="text/javascript">

var WiFiConnection = {
    "data":{
        "hasDataCoverage":true,
    }
}
	// Are we connected to Wifi?
   if (blackberry.system.hasDataCoverage()) {
		document.write('YOU ARE ON WIFI');	
   }

   // No? OH NO!
   	else { 
	document.write('YOU ARE NOT ON WIFI - SORRY!!!')
	}

</script>
<br /><br /><a href="javascript&colon;history.go(0);">Click here to refresh the page</a>

 I got it working...

Has anyone found a way to check that you have data coverage? And what kind of data coverage it is e.g. wifi,tethering,3g or bridge?
