Is it possible to create an offline application in one screen or html widget get updated online?
thanks for help
th@tiaetsch,
Could you share more details about your app requirements to have a better picture of what do you have in mind and be able to provide the best advice?
Sorry, I am a complete newbie!
I am a teacher and would like to make an app for students, including timetable a.o.
This loading does not take as long, I have activated the AppCache.
The app has several screens that are to be available offline.
Plans but must always be updated online.
This I export the daily schedules as htm file from an Excel spreadsheet. htm pages I have included in html container as “object”.
Also I have the links in the cache.manifest entered left under the heading NETWORK.
Unfortunately these html container is not updated, but viewed from the cashe.Is it possible, by clicking on a button the content of an html containers to reload?
Failing that, one can perhaps only the currently displayed Screen reload?
Please excuse my bad english.Q: are you using the Test Center or real device to confirm that your network resources are not being loaded?
> I have included in html container as “object”.
I’m not exactly clear on the w3c spec for appcache and iframe/object content. (I’ll discuss it with the dev team tomorrow.) For example if the containing page is cached but the page embeds another site’s content. This is the scenario I think you are describing, right/wrong?
If you are building a native app it is possible to use a GotoURL action and specify use of a popup-window option. This will provide a similar experience as using some social or news sites where you click a headline or article and a dialog window opens with additional content for that site. Obviously this requires a network connection to be useful.
For a basic mobile webapp, then you are stuck with the html5 appcache.
Last if you are comfortable posting a link to your mobile webapp we might be able to learn something using network inspection on it.
