Without a browser is a bit nebulous ... but I'll tell you what I'm doing and you can judge for yourself whether it meets your requirements.
If you create the proper manifest, a web-application can be stored on the user's hard-drive and run while off-line. I use Mozilla's Prism as the "non-browser" ... it looks just like the application in a web browser but has no navigation controls. Once you've got an off-line application running, you'll also need to store the data locally. This is only a little bit harder thanks to HTML5. Use the localstorage calls in the Javascript engine to allow storage to the local hard- drive. Note that this storage is a map controlled by the browser, so you can do rudimentary indexing if you're smart about picking your keys, but you do NOT have complete access to the local hard drive and the total amount of storage allocated is limited by Prism (but can be expanded by the user). Here's a link to get you started with both off-line application caching and localstorage: http://www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/ Hope this helps! smoyer On Oct 24, 12:50 pm, Be-noix <[email protected]> wrote: > QT is pretty easy to use and has WebKit in it, with the full support > of javascript. > You can compile your app for Win, Linux, OSX, ... > > Ben > > On 23 oct, 10:10, Stefan Bachert <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi matt, > > > this requirement are somewhat strange.
