client-side storage

[michae...@rochester.edu]

I've been reading up on client-side storage/databases in WebKit--still
trying to come up with ways to store a local "copy/issue" of a
magazine for offline reading.

Any thoughts on what would be the best avenue or if it's possible to
integrate client-side database calls with treesaver?

Thanks in advance.

Treesaver currently uses localStorage in order to cache the markup/text of articles. Images are not cached in local storage (it's a little tricky to do and would chew up the 5MB quota most browsers give you).

You can also hook up offline support via the Application Cache Manifest. Treesaver does provide built-in support for checking for fresh content when online if cached.

Hi Fortes,

Can I ask 1 question ? Is there anyway for me to retrieve the cache content of treesaver ?  

I need to provide some basic search function for my app. Since the content is already cached locally. 

It should be much better if I just search within the cache first, rather than reload from htmls.

Thank you!!!
