[thelist] RE: storing data clientside

[David Travis]

Hi there,

I am not sure whether this is the best solution, since View State is passed
in each request/response back and forth between the server and the browser.

According to what the originator of the topic said his stores a 500K data...

I still stick to the ticker idea with a database to store the data.

Thanks,
David.

You didn't say what technology you are using on the server. Not to start a
platform war but if it is .NET you can store all of the data in ViewState. 
That not being the case you may be able to use dynamically created xml to
hold the data. I don't know how far back you compatibility needs go.
Here is an article that may help;

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,
.kasimir
