Hi all!

I'm looking into an offline web app solution using HTML5. The functionality is everything I need BUT the data stored can be directly queried right in the browser and therefore completely unsecure!

Is there anyway to encrypt/hide so that the data is secure?

Thanks, D.

navigator.onLine still true when turning off WiFi, false when set "work offline" in browser

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
navigator.onLine is still returning true when I turn off Wi-Fi (Airport on my notebook in OS X). This is counterintuitive behavior. But when I set "work offline" in a browser like Firefox, it correctly returns false. Is this expected? alert(navigator.onLine ? "online" : "offline"); >>> More
