Description

HTML 5 provides offline functionality in the form of localStorage. Can you use that instead of Google Gears, or as an option for those who can't use Gears (like 64 bit users, for example)?

It's supported in Firefox 3.1 and the latest version of Safari, other Webkit browser, and I think Opera as well.

Thanks!

Unless one of those Gears-challenged users provides a patch, probably not. Mostly because it's too boring to rewrite 100+ SQL queries using a completely different syntax.
