Standalone mobile site

Is it possible to have a mobile website that can work if there is no internet connection?

The user should still be able to use the website (if he has visited this page before), see the data (which were downloaded earlier), add new material (cache locally). When the Internet connection returns to the Internet, all changed local data must be pushed online.

It should be a complete web solution, not a native application.
