Retaining around 1KB of data across different pages

Question

Using Javascript / Jquery (1.7) / Ajax , is it possible to retain around 1kb of data across 2 different pages on the same domain?

For example, a user will enter information into a textbox, and navigate away from this page onto a specific different page.

Is it then possible to alert the user with the textbox information from the previous page?

Answer 1

You can store that amount of information:

• In cookies (up to 4K)
• In local/session storage (limits start from 2.5MB)
• In the URL (e.g. via a query string or fragment id) (up to 2,083 characters in IE)
