Thanks David! JSON.parse would be perfect! Ah ew i didnt know localStorage was sync. I don't know if it's gaia I just picked up the list demo app and started hacking it up. Ill look into the async_storage.js I dont think im using gaia though, Im not sure. There is so much code in this list demo app I cant figure out what its all for. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
