Question

How can I save a textarea’s information that contains more text than 4kb, in cookie’s? I’m only open to Javascript, unfortunately. I can’t tell the user that they can’t use more than 4000 characters and set a limit is not acceptable in the situation. Tried to search through Google but it won’t give me a result. Don’t have to be friendly to any browser but Google Chrome.

Any ideas?

Cookies are the old, way, you should look into using localStorage.

//Setting the value
var myList = document.getElementById('myToDoList');
localStorage.setItem('toDoData', myList.value);


//Reading the value
var myToDo = localStorage.getItem('toDoData');
if(myToDo){
    myList.value= myToDo;
}
