    Better and easier would be to use AJAX and then use file operations of any server side language like PHP etc – Varun Aug 10 '15 at 14:02

No, JavaScript doesn't have access to writing files as this would be a huge security risk to say the least. If you wanted to get/store information server-side, though, you can certainly make an Ajax call to a PHP/ASP/Python/etc. script that can then get/store the data in the server. If you meant store data on the client machine, this is impossible with JavaScript alone. I suspect Flash/Java may be able to, but I am not sure.

If you are only trying to store a small amount of information for an unreliable period of time regarding a specific user, I think you want cookies. I am not sure from your question what you are trying to accomplish, though.

  • If the question has been already answered on SO, instead of copy/paste you should mark it as "duplicate". – Artur Filipiak Aug 10 '15 at 14:06
