Well, the project was started the project before the spec was
abandoned. Go ahead and fault me for following the W3C spec. It
didn't even *OCCUR* to me that they'd pull such a brainless, elitist
stunt. And yeah, the merits of indexdb can be debated ad nauseam, but
to abandon Web DB as they did because they felt SQL was antiquated or
relation databases are no longer the flavor of the day is ridiculous
at best and irresponsible at worst. I'm sure no one wants to have
that discussion here, so that's where I'll leave it.
And when we started the project, jQtouch was evaluated to be the best
candidate out there due to it's seeming maturity and jQuery roots
(jQMobile had very little traction). I had never used jQuery but it
was a highly recommended framework that had a lot of folks who knew,
used and supported it. Perhaps iui would have been a better choice
but it was the call we made at the time and the reasoning looked (and
if I can solve this problem without a radical redesign, it will be)
sound. Oh and we used php for the server-side stuff for a lot of the
same reasons (ease of maintainability and amount of folks who know
it). I'm sure that was a bad decision as well.
My code is well under the application cache 5Mb limit, but I stumbled
across the 15K/file limit only recently as I was trying to debug the
app cache functionality. The thing works fine when if the internet
connection drops, you just can't start it in offline mode (yet.)
So the "it" I am trying to solve is this: jquery-1.5.1.min.js is too
large. I need the library (or critical parts of it) to be broken up
enough to keep uncompressed file size to under 15K. Number of files
at this point is irrelevant.
My apologies if I was unclear.
Scott.

Obviously I'm not using the jquery downloader correctly--honestly,
this project is my first (wonderful) foray into the world of jQuery.
Well, yeah. But the history of jQuery has shown it to be an ever-
shifting API.
My jQuery minified version (1.5.1) weighs in at 85K. What am I doing
wrong?
Besides using jQuery and using an abandoned API, it looks like you are
trying to solve something without asking how it is best solved. And we
don't even know what "it" is. All we know is "how" you're trying to
solve something.
In web development, there are so many ways to solve problems. Ask the
right questions. Often, I will go back to the req and ask what is
needed and how best to solve that problem.
