Can iPod touch / iPad apps written in safari run without internet access?

Question

I know that for native apps, after I download them, I can run them without a network access.

I also know that for safari webapps, I can run them, and the server can store the data.

However, is there a way to write a webpage, save it to my iPhone, allow it to do i/o to the iPod touch itself, and also run it without web access?

[Think a todo list written as a webpage; but I want it with me and running even when I don't have network access.]

Thanks!

If not possible; please provide link. If possible, please tell me now.
