Ideas: $('#mydiv').html( $.gears(db, 'select * from Demo order by Timestamp desc').toTable() ); jQuery shouldn't be made to really change the gears API, but a good plugin should allow the natural result of using the gears API to be easily used to play with the DOM. So, a toTable() method wo

Although, this sounds like a great opportunity to write a plugin around Google Gears. This was my first thought too, but after working with the API a little bit, I don't really see what functionality a jQuery plugin would add... Maybe in dealing with result sets: Before: // Get the 3 most rec

Thanks for the link, yes it does ease my concerns, I know Google already has a huge interest in bringing the off-line browser to consumers, as "Uhh, I can't access my emails off-line" is the only excuse I receive when trying to get people to signup for gmail. I just saw Gears as kind of jumping th

I don't know much about the HTML5 specification, but honestly, how quickly will all the major browsers adopt the new specification? FF3? Sure. They're great at keeping up with the bleeding edge. But like it or not IE still has the lion's share of the market, and are not likely to adopt a new sp

There's even less need for us to do this now, since Google has done all the hard work for us. (Also, Dojo is only using Google's framework if it exists, nothing more.) Although, this sounds like a great opportunity to write a plugin around Google Gears. --John On 5/31/07, jamon <[EMAIL PROTECT
