Re: Is localStorage read and write-able offlne?
Everything in file:// is the same origin. I think Mozilla has been experimenting with changing this, but I can't remember how they handle localStorage (if it's even different at all). No. Everything on file:// has the origin defined by the origin serialization algorithm. http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#origin The spec tells If scheme is file, then the user agent may return a UA-specific value. In Opera's case we use file://machine/ where machine can be localhost, an ip, or a remote computer with a shared folder. If you're on a local network which cannot be fully trusted, accessing a page at file://peer/ that manages to access your local harddrive is as serious as a cross-domain attack, or even more. So saying that everything on file has origin file:// is a misconception of the problem origin tries to solve.
Re: Is localStorage read and write-able offlne?
When used in conjunction with AppCache, the offline behavior of localStorage should be reasonably deterministic. I assume you were just using a page that had been normally cached and things weren't working 100%? 2009/7/30 ~:'' ありがとうございました j.chetw...@btinternet.com Is localStorage read and write-able offlne? http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/ admittedly only a skim-read, but could not find any reference? testcase: https://bug506639.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=390836 works in a local directory with cookies for Opera and Safari, but Mozilla using localStorage requires the file to be online to be read or written to. bug filed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507361 from a developer perspective this can be frustrating. presumably users working offline might also expect to be able to read and write as per cookies... best ~:
