Question

I have created a website in HTML that has a Settings page, where the user inputs information, clicks Save and the information is saved – as in, if the text fields have text in them then the information remains in that field even if the user leaves the website. I have used jQTouch and jQuery and JavaScript to save the information and it worked fine, but when I re-created the same website with Twitter-BootStrap it stopped working.

The .js files attached to the Settings.html page are;
bootstrap.js; jquery.min.js and (this is my own code) save.js

In the save.js, i saved the text fields using;

localStorage.name = $("#name").val();

and loaded them using;

$("#name").val(localStorage.name);

i was wondering if because i don’t have jQTouch attached to the HTML anymore that it’s stopped working? if so is there a way to change it to work with BootStrap and jQuery?

Any other code you need, just ask. I wasn’t sure what you’d need and my GitHub account is experiencing problems. Thanks so much in advance xxx

You can use getItem and setItem to save and load localStorage data this is plain Javascript.

localStorage.setItem("name", $("#name").val());

$("#name").val(localStorage.getItem("name"));
