Create an Offline iPhone Web Application

Recently, I have been playing around with building web applications for the iPhone and really wanted to try make the experience as close to a native application as possible. One big way to make the experience much better is by caching the application so it can be used offline. So, that's what I am going to show you how to do today. We are going to be using a new feature in HTML5 called a Cache Manifest file. This file will allow you to tell the browser to cache the application for offline use. If you combine this with HTML5 Web Storage you can really build some compelling experiences.
