Yup, this is all in FF4b (can't remember if it was in 9, but it is in 10 which is the latest released one). > Lastly, let's say you're doing cursor.continue() on an index cursor, how can > you get a handle to the objectStore?

Yup, we added a .objectStore property on IDBIndex. The call to .continue() returns a IDBRequest (same one as was originally returned from .openCursor()). This IDBRequest has a .source which is the IDBIndex object. Is that enough from the cursor to the index? I don't feel strongly. / Jonas
