I am trying to use the HTML5 feature localStorage
. According to this blog it can be done using IE8, however when I try to use it I get a javascript error 'localStorage is null or not an object'
So my question: can localStorage
be used by IE8 out-of-the-box? Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd>
<html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=8 />
<title>IE8 - DOM Storage</title>
<script type=text/javascript>
function Save() {
localStorage.setItem('key','value');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick=Save();>
Save
</button>
</body>
</html>
