var quantity = row.quantity;
$("#itemlist").append("<li>" + item + " - " + quantity + "</li>");
}
}
else
{
$("#itemlist").append("<li> No items </li>");
}
}, error);

});

});

function success ()
{
}

function error (transaction, err)
{
alert ("DB error : " + err.message);
return false;
}
</script>
</body>

</html>

Please note that Firefox does not support this type of web SQL databases. If you try this in a FF browser, it will throw "ReferenceError: openDatabase is not defined".
