Uh, I hate to inform you, but it doesn't seem to function properly on Firefox trunk.

Correct. You'll need Safari or Chrome to play.

Web SQL Database is supported by Google Chrome, Opera and Safari but will not be implemented by Mozilla(Firefox) which instead advocates Indexed Database API access.

Maybe you should try to use the simpler storage API like localStorage as it is more widely supported?

That's awesome. Thanks for the lead. I'll try and implement that tonight :)

Ok, I've replaced the database with localStorage and it's all good to go - at least in FF 3.6.8, although it seems to be washing out the font colors.

Thanks for the suggestion.
