Running html pages offline in a tablet or mobile
Hi,
Maybe this question has been asked before, but here is what I want to do.
I am trying to develop an android based application that uses several HTML pages, the pages are modified to look like a native android app, using CSS and jquery.
I have managed to make a test page, using jquery, and also made a css theme to work with it. The page runs fine on my apache server.
The whole collection of above files is now stored in a android phone or tablet. I want to know if this will work without a server (the pages are stored locally), will jquery also work without a server??
thanks
a

As long as you do not do any AJAX POST's the page is static and the jQuery runs in the browser.
But I must ask - why not just create an Android app?

Re: Running html pages offline in a tablet or mobile
I recently got a job to create an entry program on an Android 7 inch tablet. First I thought about using my existing web app and a browser on the tablet. I rejected that because I wanted full screen control - a much tighter and robust user experience.
With that said I opted for a native app. Using ECLIPSE for the IDE - it's a JAVA-like (C-syntax) language. I've never had a problem going from VB to C... Bought this book to help me get over any hurdles.

It's been a really great experience. I'm using the same WEB METHODS - running in IIS - that my web app uses. Making AJAX calls to these same method - working with JSON strings.
The app is still in development. I plan on using a local SQLite DB on the tablet for when the tablet is out of range of a network.
