Does anyone know if a loaded web page will remain loaded (w/o
attempting to refresh) indefinitely when no network is available? Or
what the performance impact of having a lot of tabs open at once seems
to be?
One strategy for dealing w/ spotty service might be to integrate some
of ideas from the offline JavaScript libraries coming out, except in
memory instead of via a plugin (a la google gears).
For instance:
- If every action that caused modification of the site was defined in
some JS "event" object.
- Updates to the UI from an action are performed by local JS instead
of server response
- Each site action first creates the JS event object, then uses a try
{} block to attempt to send it to the server
- If the server isn't there, it records the event in memory and sets a
timer to try again later
--- (loop, repeat)
Until Apple gives us the ability to create and install widgets (it's
got to be coming...), there has to be some way to get around the
network always having to be in the loop....
