How to detect network isReachable using phonegap (1.8.0)

I am using the phonegap1.8.0 and I want to detect if the net is available and then if I could reach it. At the phonegap doc expose the following api 

navigator.network.isReachable('www.facebook.com', reachCallBack, {});

however, I got the 

Console(4820): Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'isReachable' at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:71

The code is:

    function netIsAvailable()
{
    var reachCallBack = function (reachability)
    {

        var networkState = reachability.code || reachability;

        var states = {};
        states[NetworkStatus.NOT_REACHABLE]                      = 'No network connection';
        states[NetworkStatus.REACHABLE_VIA_CARRIER_DATA_NETWORK] = 'Carrier data connection';
        states[NetworkStatus.REACHABLE_VIA_WIFI_NETWORK]         = 'WiFi connection';

        alert('Connection type: ' + states[networkState]);

    };
    alert(  navigator.onLine );
    navigator.network.isReachable('www.facebook.com', reachCallBack, {});
}

The isReachable function is deprecated since v1, and now you have to use connection or network events to perform the similar logic.

Connection information

online/offline events
