localstorage seems to work on: - Google Chrome - Mozilla Firefox - Opera - Opera mini - probably Safari
but not on internet explorer (I'm using internet explorer 11). My is is windows 7. I need something equivalent that will do the same job. This is for a project and I'm doing everything on my C: drive (security is not important) so my protocol is file:\. I've done some research and some people got it fixed by adding:
<!DOCTYPE html>
but it didn't work for me.
here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<style type="text/css">
* {
font-family:Cambria;
color:blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function transfer() {
confirm("Would you like to save your password for this site?");
var contents = document.getElementById('email_input').value;
var contents_2 = document.getElementById("password_input").value;
localStorage.setItem('user', contents);
localStorage.setItem('password', contents_2);
window.location.href = 'page2.html';
};
var button_clicked = function(){
email_content = document.getElementById("email_input").value;
pass_content = document.getElementById("password_input").value;
points = 0;
if (email_content.length < 1){
document.getElementById("empty_1").innerHTML = ("*please input your email address");
} else {
document.getElementById("empty_1").innerHTML = ("<br>");
points += 1;
};
if (pass_content.length < 1){
document.getElementById("empty_2").innerHTML = ("*please input your password");
} else {
document.getElementById("empty_2").innerHTML = ("<br>");
points += 1;
};
if (points === 2){
transfer();
}
};
</script>
