I wrote a function to solve a similar problem, you can call it like this:

database("SELECT * FROM USER", function(result){
    console.log(result);
});

//FUNCTION
function database(sql, callback) {

    if(!callback) { callback = function(r) { console.log(r); } }

    var database_name = "Database",
        database_version = "1.0",
        database_displayname = "DatabaseName",
        database_size = 1000000,
        result = {
            error: -1,
            message: "",
            len: 0,
            rows: {}
        },
        db = window.openDatabase(database_name, database_version, database_displayname, database_size);
        db.transaction(
                        function (tx) {
                            tx.executeSql(sql, [], querySuccess, errorCB);
                        }, function (tx, results) {
                            //SUCCESS
                        }, function (err) {
                            //ERROR
                        }
        );
        function querySuccess(tx, results) {
            if (results) {
                result.len = results.rows.length;
                result.message = "Success";
                for (var i=0; i
