Offline simple test

by **greg69** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:16 pm

Hello all,

I am trying a simple test on the offline part of html 5 with this page :

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE html> <html manifest="test.manifest"> <head> </head> <body> <img src="http://www.somewebsite.com/picture.jpg"/> </body> </html>

the manifest can't be simplier :

Code: Select all: CACHE MANIFEST #v0.1

So the cache seems to be working well as i can access my web page even after disabling the web server providing it.

But the picture (stored somewhere else on the web) is not displayed.

Sure i can add it to the manifest but why is it necessary while i'm online ?

It's for easier testing -- if you have a cache manifest, you'd want the images to be listed in it for them to work offline. Had it loaded when online, you probably wouldn't know that the image was missing from the manifest since everything looks OK.

If you don't want to list your images in the manifest but still want them to load when online, I think that's possible too but I don't know the manifest fu so you'll need to read a tutorial or the spec, or maybe http://diveintohtml5.org/offline.html
