 ''"You are offline"'' and ''"You are online again"'' or something else?

 Replying to myself: the listeners could be used to trigger `heartbeat-
 connection-lost` and `heartbeat-connection-restored`, in order to show the
 alert and disable the submit buttons. At least where this feature already
 exists.

 However I wouldn't remove totally the warn solution previously sent,
 because it is much easier to apply to all other forms.
