This is not a Gears question. Gears does not provide you with a way to access files, neither locally nor remotely. > For example i want retrive sql statement from resource.txt file. The normal way: Access "resource.txt" with AJAX - so as if it resides on the server. You need a server-URL for this, which must conform to the "same origin philiosphy" (except for cross-domain-workers, which can access a different domain, but let's leave that out for the moment). If you want to have a file locally stored by gears, "resource.txt" must be included in the manifest file so it is automatically retrieved from the server. Well, yes, you can create some "fake resource.txt" file such, that it appears to come from the server but it is not really there (see the Gears doc on how to create such files in the LocalStore). So Gears is able to create "virtual URLs on the server" which are not really on the server but are served locally. (This can be used to create images on the fly, or - most time - to prepare content to be uploaded to the server.) But there is no big difference with Gears than thinking without Gears. The only difference is, that Gears "sees" a file on the "offlined server", which for real is needs not to be there for real. But you can emulate that without gears by just putting the file on the HTTP-server. So all access to any resources the browser does MUST BE DONE THE SAME WAY as if it is a resource on the server. So I'm afraid, your question has nothing to do with Gears. Probably you are looking at the wrong location. > There' s a way?? Perhaps there is another misunderstanding. Gears does not add SQL support to the browser. Gears just uses a local SQL database to store information permanently. However it is NOT possible to execute SQL against this database. Only Gears does this internally but it does not expose the SQL interface to JavaScript. So please think of Gears as nothing more than a local page cache. (Well, there is a little bit more as it allows access to the location API etc., but that's a minimal thing, which - AGAIN - can be seen like accessing a resource on a server which is aware of your location somehow.) So you usually CANNOT DO MORE than you already can do without Gears in online mode. The only thing Gears adds is to allow to write a Javascript driven application which also works offline. But Gears does not give this application more access rights than any other web application without Gears. > thank you HTH -Tino
