Use of application offline

Use of application offline

LiekarLiekar Posts: 10Questions: 2Answers: 0

For various reasons, one of the pages in my application must be usable offline; that is, with the laptop/tablet disconnected from any network.

The user will be connected to the network when the page loads - the page is initialized, data is loaded, etc. But after that they will be offline. I have been very careful to keep all processing local using JavaScript, DataTables. etc. and it all seems to work fine.

But I wanted to confirm that the Editor will work offline. In my Editor definition I do not have an ".ajax" clause. I believe that since I do not have a server defined that the "submit" will just update the local DataTable and not try to communicate with a server.

Again, I have tested the page offline and it seems to work well but this is critically important and I wanted to confirm the functionality.

Is there something about the Editor (or DataTables) which inherently will make them not function properly offline?

Many Thanks,
Bob Liekar

    Correct.

    There is nothing about DataTables or Editor that requires the end user to be online. They do not "phone home".
