does anybody have any experience writing up a offline data storage & access app on jquery. my server side app would be an ASP.Net app. basically, i would be providing a trimmed down version of my web app so that users could access some of the data while they are offline and can sync the data when they connect again. I have heard of google gears but wanted to hear from people who have used it or who know more on this subject.

It's difficult to impossible to do without a plugin since your only option is a Cookie which has a 4k limit.
Looks like the jquery-store that others have suggested uses Flash as a data store. http://code.google.com/p/jquery-jstore/ . I am biased and don't like flash unless absolutely necessary. I have had issues with it and memory. So here are some other options:
Google Gears seems to be the one that is going to be what you want. http://gears.google.com/
Gears it is not jQuery specific. Someone is writing a jQuery wrapper for it http://code.google.com/p/jquery-offline/
