Google chrome extension: local storage

Question

Hi there

I'm developing an extension for Google Chrome, and have run into some trouble.I created an options.html page and added it to the manifest.json file.The page shows properly.

I saved the options, and then went back to the page on which the extension is supposed to run.

Unfortunately, the Local storage for the options was returning a 'null' instead of the option. If I set the local storage option directly from the extension's JS script, it works fine but not if it was set from the options page.

Any idea how i can access the options.html local storage values from my Javascript file in the extension?

thanks!

Answer 1

have you set them using either:

localStorage["var"]=data;

or

localStorage.var=data;

and are you loading them using

var myvar = localStorage.var;
