I’ve made a simple Web Application for the iPhone, it’s just 6 pages each

  • 0

I’ve made a simple Web Application for the iPhone, it’s just 6 pages each with an image on it and I use the Cube transition to switch between them, all static content.

I need this to work on an iPod Touch offline, i.e. visit it once, disconnect from WiFi, and then be able to browse the static site.

I’m trying to do this using the HTML5 manifest feature, but I’m clearly doing it wrong?

My Manifest file:

CACHE MANIFEST index.html main.css main.js Images/Appointments_Page.png Images/backgroundStripes.png Images/button.png Images/button1.png Images/button1_clicked.png Images/button2.png Images/button2_clicked.png Images/button3.png Images/button3_clicked.png Images/button_clicked.png Images/CloseIcon.png Images/CloseIcon_pressed.png Images/Efficacy_Page.png Images/EfficacyGraph_Page.png Images/Graph_Icon.png Images/GraphIcon.png Images/GraphIcon_pressed.png Images/Home_Page.png Images/Tolerability_Page.png Images/TolerabilityTable_Page.png Images/WebClipIcon.png Parts/ButtonHandler.js Parts/PushButton.js Parts/setup.js Parts/StackLayout.js Parts/Transitions.css Parts/Transitions.js Parts/utilities.js

top of my HTML file

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html manifest='cache-manifest'>

  1. Hey I figured it out, leaving answer here in case it helps anyone else.

    The problem I was having was that our server (IIS6) was refusing to serve my manifest file.

    I had to add the MIME type ‘.manifest’ using ‘text/cache-manifest’.

    Since then it’s been caching fine, all 40+ files ranging from 1kb to 200kb.

    Hope this helps.
