As a web developer (not browser developer) I have some problems to deeply and surely understand all aspects of the Offline Web Application specification, so the problems might only be related to the browser implementation, not the specification itself, but since a import goal of HTML5 is that the browsers should be compatible, I provide a list of the problems here: Opera doesn't load ajax requests from the application cache. Chrome and Firefox do. I think that "5.7.6 Changes to the networking model" states that it should be done. When navigating from a webpage (with manifest) to another webpage (without manifest), where the second webpage was in the first pages manifest, all browsers fetch the second webpage from the application cache. But Opera and Firefox set window.applicationCache.status as UNCACHED, while Chrome handles the window.applicationCache.status as active, that is IDLE. While reading "5.7.5 The application cache selection algorithm" bullet two seams to state that the application cache shall be active for the Document. I can of course provide sample code for the situations if requested. Best Regards Fredrik Persson Fredrik.Z.Persson@ericsson.com This Communication is Confidential.

I don't think there's much that can be done in the spec to clarify these particular issues. cc'ing zcorpan, jgraham, bz, roc, ms2ger for opera and gecko in case they want to file bugs themselves.
