I am new to javascript and am currently working on a simple counter, the idea is that you will be able to store your counts in localStorage and clear them when you like.

I have been building on the W3C example but have been unable to clear the localStorage.

I have tried setting the value to zero as well as simply clearing and removing the item, but here is where i am at so far: 

function clickCounter()
{
if(typeof(Storage)!=="undefined")
  {
  if (localStorage.clickcount)
    {
    localStorage.clickcount=Number(localStorage.clickcount)+1;
    }
  else
    {
    localStorage.clickcount=1;
    }
  document.getElementById("result").innerHTML="You have clicked the button " + localStorage.clickcount + " time(s).";
  }
}

function cleanUp(){
    localStorage.clickcount=0;

}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<br/>   

<p><button onclick="clickCounter()" type="button">Click me!</button></p>
<button onclick="cleanUp()">Reset button</button>

<div id="result"></div>

    I copy pasted your code into an empty HTML file and ran it, works fine

    All I did was add the missing < script >

    I’m using Chrome 22

    FYI this is how you remove something from local storage

    localStorage.removeItem('thekey');
