Re: [chromium-html5] LocalStorage inside Worker

Now I think about it I see where you were coming from with get:

var x = getNamedStorage('x');
x.onsuccess(function(store) {...});

would make more sense like that... and I guess if you include the onsuccess
callback in one function you get:

getNamedStorage('x', function(store) {...});

I reads better this morning than it did last night.


Cheers,
Keean.
