Hi,
I was trying out the code for offline storage in firefox 3.5, taken from http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2008/05/firefox-3-offline-app-demo-part-2/. When the page loads i get a dialog prompting me that the application is asking for storing data, but when i press Allow, the dialog does not go away . The app works fine at the online demo given on the website. The source file containing the javascript is as follows :
todo.html
