Javascript and the iPad

[deleted-user-yA_w_FC9FKe5]

It seems as though our upper management wants to be able to use the GIS in the field and to be able to quickly get to documents using location.  What I would love to be able to do is have it so that these documents were stored on the iPad in case they do not have an internet connection and have a link in my info box to them.     Anyone ever do this or have any ideas of how to do this?

I'm even willing to purchase a beverage at the UC in July for anyone really helpful.  😉

If the total size of your data is less than 5 MB, you can serialize the data and store it using the browser's local storage mechanism.

However, if your data is greater than 5 MB and you lack an internet connection, this becomes much more complicated and you might want to look into using a native application, rather than a web application.

If being a Javascript application is a requirement, and you need to store more data than local storage allows, you may want to look into a hybrid application using a framework like PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/).
