Javascript/XML client side coding on Linux
 

Dear Friends,

I have a problem. We need to develop a webapplication ( a organizer sort) which can be worked both online and offline (with syncronize feature). So that our clients can use it when they are not hooked to net. This application is just like one of those calendar/organizer. We know what exactly we are lookin for and how we want as there is already a exisiting application up and running for Windows using ASP/Javascript/XML/MSHTA(for htm) in which we developed a HTA application using MSHTA. User bascially download this small HTA application which uses XML DOM to create and store data in the client side. When user connects to Internet he submits and the same XML file stored on client machine is posted to Server using HTTP Post to a ASP page. Now we want the same funtionality for Linux/Mozilla client. Any suggestion please. One option we tought was using SAX XML parser but that is Readonly forward only parser. And morever I am not sure if I can save a file generated at client using client side scripting on Linux File system (though its XML file) and then post back the same file to System (btw its not a big XML file. it just holds some data in it, that the best way we could think to store data on client side.)

Any inputs on this will be highly appriciated. Please help. Thanks in advance.
