#12Lawnchair (http://brianleroux.github.com/lawnchair/) is similar to this, but you have to pick an adapter (see http://github.com/brianleroux/lawnchair for browser list).

#13From the readme: "So far tested in Tested in Firefox 2.0 Tested in Firefox 3.0 Tested in Firefox 3.6 Tested in Chrome 5 Tested in Safari 4 Tested in Safari 5 Tested in IE6 Tested in IE7 Tested in IE8 Tested in Opera 10" Does it mean it works on IE6+? Does IE6 have local storage?
IE6 has userData behavior, which can be used to store data on the client just like with local storage

#14Tested it on IE 6 and got: "Tests passed" So I guess it works . . . :-)
Yup, it works in IE6.
I don't have access to IE5.5, would love to have someone test it.

I would certainly hope so...

Looks like it. If you look a the store.js source code, it links to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531424(v=VS.85).as... which appears to be another one of those hidden gems in IE, like the original AJAX implementation, or XDomainRequest.
"Hidden?" Give IE some respect...its rendering may have been crap, but it had plenty of features like this for building robust web applications years before the cool kids realized that might be a good idea.

I'm completely unconvinced that cross-domain local storage is even remotely a good idea. I can't think of any data I'd want to store in a clientside database that I would want other sites to be able to see/modify.

Why on earth would you imply that cross-domain user tracking is a good thing?

Give IETester a whirl. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 preview render engines in a single executable.

I'm not convinced that IETester changes the underlying APIs correctly. Because of bad experience with "Multiple IE" simulators in the past I don't test on anything but the real install.
