I've used the semi-deprecated Web SQL Database on iPads to store
relational data locally with some periodic polling to see if it's safe
to flush the data to a server. The data survives browser and device
restarts. This works well as long as the network access is reliably
intermittent (as Nate pointed out). I used the persistence.js ORM, which
made the data a little easier to work with.

If you're just storing a set of log lines, localStorage might be the
shorter path (and it would work in Firefox, if that matters).

It depends on what you mean by local.
If you mean that the html files are on the iPad and you have no
network connection, there isn't much you can do.
You could use HTML5 storage:

You'd need network access *sometime,* but not constantly.
