title: HTML/JS as interface to local SQLite database
body: <p>I'm writing a pretty simple database application, which I want to be locally stored (as opposed to looking up a remote database). I like HTML/Javascript for designing interfaces, and they're cross-platform (everybody has a browser!), so I'd really like to write a webpage as a frontend. No client/server interaction should be involved - I just want the users to be able to interact with the database using a browser, instead of a native program.</p>
  
  <p>However, the only way I can see to access databases from a browser is using something like WebSQL or IndexedDB. Both of these, however, abstract away the process of managing the database file itself, and store it away in user settings somewhere. I want to distribute the database file itself along with the app.</p>
  
  <p>In short: is there a way to use HTML/Javascript to modify a local SQLite database file? Or is HTML not the tool I should be using for this sort of application?</p>
