  How would you do that with just plain jQuery? Have you solved that aspect elsewhere in your code?

  I use offline js in the other points where I need to detect the absence of connectivity.
  For what it concerns the reason of my question, I just saw that it's possible to use the error option inside the ajax call and it does the trick, so sorry for not seeing it before.
  I paste an example here in case someone hits this question in google

  $('#myTable').DataTable({
  serverSide: true,
  ajax: {
  url: 'http://a.sweet.url',
  error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
  aCustomErrorHandler.showMyLovelyError(jqXHR) // <--- this function invokes offline.js api and eventually detect if user lost Internet connection
  }
  },
  columns: [
  {data: 'bla', title: 'bla'},
  {data: 'bla', title: 'bla'},
  {data: 'bla', title: 'bla'},
  {data: 'bla', title: 'bla'},
  . . .
  ],
  order: [[3, 'desc']],
  . . .
  ]
  })

  Thanks for posting back with your solution.

  Its also worth noting that you can use ajax as a function which will completely override the DataTables default Ajax and replace it with your own.
