storage space for mobile app using html and js

Okay, we talk and hear lot about creating mobile app using javascript and html. I was trying to write one app myself forgetting that some real programs also need to store and access at least, the information stored by the program. I intend to user only the browser of the mobile app and it is offline. Basically, it is just a program written using js. Since the browser is not allowed to create and store the data in the user's disk, how should I approach it? Storing the data in cookies is one of the option, I guess. I am new to web programming so please bear with me if I say something stupid. However, cookies can be inadvertently deleted.

So my question is: How can I manage a 'small storage space' in mobile device if I am using a html and js to create my app?

Web storage is supported by almost all modern browsers

If you are looking for offline web applications, it is not supported from old Internet Explorer

Here are a couple of useful links:

In HTML5, there are a couple of ways to save information the way you want. LocalStorage and WebDatabase

Although, if you want to do an App for iOS I recoment Web Apps, that allow you to create offline HTML application that the user see as a normal app.
