I am trying to use html5 feature 'localStorage'
according to this blog it can be done using IE8
however when I am trying use it I get javascript error the 'localStorage is null or not an object'
So my question- can it be used by IE8 out-of-the-box or not?
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>
