hello Evolters,
I'm building a web application to calculate and store results of bridge
competitions. The basic idea is simple: the scores from the competition
are input via web browser, and the results can then be viewed when and
where ever. The problem comes from the fact that internet connections
some times go down... and the results should still be calculated. So I
need to have option of doing things client side, including storing the
data until the connection is back up.
With Flash MX's Shared Objects this would be easy, and that kind of
seems the obvious solution. Other option could be to use DOM to create a
document containing the data and then prompting the user to "save page"
- this would allow me to stick to the standards, but it might be more
difficult for the users. I don't want to go the ActiveX route - I want
to keep everything cross platform. Would PHP-GTK be good for me? I
haven't yet given a good look to it.
Any ideas?
thanks,
