Sorry, I replied on the bug rather than to the list. Here's what I said:
Hm, I think the wording in the spec is bad, but I believe this bug is invalid.
The way we envisioned this for the async api is that calling continue() always
returns true (to match sync api, but it's really pointless) and the original
event listener is called again. There is no new request object. So it works
like this:
var request = objectStore.openCursor();
request.onsuccess = function (event) {
var cursor = event.result;
if (cursor) {
// Do something...
alert(cursor.value);
// And again...
cursor.continue();
}
else {
// No more values...
}
}
This way you don't have to define multiple request objects and event listeners.
For the sync api, I think it should work very similarly:
var cursor = objectStore.openCursor();
if (cursor) {
do {
// Do something..
alert(cursor.value);
} while (cursor.continue());
}
