In that case this toolkit will be really useful. @Solsys, I see, thanks for explanation. In that case this toolkit will be really useful.

If the app can't access the server, it can store the data locally till the user re-connects. I've been using a background Auto-save for cases like that, but for large amounts of data and a slow connection, the auto-saving can be tricky, and the excuse "Well you have all of your data up till 5 minutes ago" tends not to go over very well when a client wrote that critical paragraph 3 minutes before the net went down...

Sorting, searching in text and so on.. JavaScript cannot do this so good as server-side languages. And in other side, it will take a long time to implement all features of website in JS.

Maybe not for traditional websites like news. But more for the backend web applications like content management systems, online blog editors, wikkis , order entry for mobile workers (CRM and lead management such as salesforce.com?) and the list goes on. I can think of at least a dozen more. @Ajax 2.0 developer –

Sure, there is e-mail and docs, but that's all I can think of. Tinkered with creating a way users could add ESPN.com stories to a bag and have them available offline, but from research, there isn't much of a market for it.

Looking forward to implementing offline capabilities in my WCM editor with this soon. I am excited about the progress.
