Solution 1:

You should look into HTML5 offline storage. There is a answer about this on SO

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1194784/which-browsers-support-html5-offline-storage

Solution 2:

Use HTML5 offline app, and localStorage (see these in action on html5demos.com). To find out what browsers support this HTML5 functionality, go to http://www.quirksmode.org/webkit.html and look for appcache and localStorage.

You also need to figure out when to post the data to your server. So you'll also need some javascript code as part of your offline app that knows when the user is online, knows that there is data in localStorage and knows and when to post the data.

Take a look at Sencha Touch, it is a framework for mobile apps and may help you.
