Take a look at this demo, how HTML5 application works.


Manifest File
The manifest file contains three parts CACHE MANIFEST, NETWORK and FALLBACK. You can create this simple text file using notepad with extension filename.appcache

CACHE MANIFEST
List all the files what exactly you want to be cached under the browser mainfest.
CACHE MANIFEST
index.html
style.css
logo.png

NETWORK
Sometimes the webpage strongly required internet access to call APIs, in such a case we need to keep resource urls under this header.
Chrome
NETWORK:
*

Firefox needs arbitrary urls instead of asterisk (*)
NETWORK:
http:// * , https:// *

FALLBACK
If you want to display some special no internet page like 404, keep the file or url under this header.
FALLBACK:
/ no-internet.html

mainfest.appcache
CACHE MANIFEST
index.html
style.css
logo.png

FALLBACK:
/ no-internet.html

NETWORK:
*

.htaccess
Few servers are not supporting .appcache file type extension, include this file for better result.
AddType text/cache-manifest .appcache

index.html
Include mainfest.appcache
<!doctype html>
<html  manifest="mainfest.appcache">
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div><img src="logo.png" /></div>
<a href="file.php">Required Internet Access</a>
</body>
</html>

Application Cache Clear in Chrome

  2. It would have been great if appcache was available without any back-end settings.
