[WSG] HTML5 offline storage question
Hi all, I'm asking around the traps on a question which has come up at work. We want to develop an iPad app to will allow users to download from a website (like a synch) large quantities (hundreds of MB) of documents (pdf and word) for reading offline. Is the offline storage tool in HTML5 designed for this sort of heavy lifting? are there storage limitations? on an iPad? I've found a few examples of the tool in action and read bits and pieces, but it all seems to be about storing small chunks of data, not humunguous great whumps of it. -- Andrew Harris and...@woowoowoo.com http://www.woowoowoo.com ~~~ * ~~~ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question
It's really not designed for that amount of data. Perhaps this StackOverflow question will give you an idea on limits - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1921048/limit-of-localstorage-on-iphone ~bck On 09/08/2010, at 2:55 PM, Andrew Harris wrote: Hi all, I'm asking around the traps on a question which has come up at work.

Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question
The iPhone has a 5mb upper limit per page. I think the ipad's limit is 10mb but I am not sure. So in other words, no. -Breton On 09/08/2010, at 2:55 PM, Andrew Harris and...@woowoowoo.com wrote: Hi all, I'm asking around the traps on a question which has come up at work.
