html5 javascript openDatabase fails

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Use the following sample code:

---index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script type="application/javascript" src="dbTest.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

---dbTest.js : 

(function () {

    var db = window.openDatabase ("testDb", "1.0", "testDb", 200000);

    alert (db);

} ());

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
