Hi,
I'm facing an interesting issue, the 'localStorage' is not working in different master pages of same web application.

In my application I'm using 'localStorage' to remember the input given by user in a particular text-box (its inside the master page of logged-in user) and I'm trying to clear this "localStorage" upon next time the user log-in(this page using different master page- 'public user master page').

I'm not able to take/clear the localStorage from public user master page, which was set inside logged-in user's master page. Has the "localStorage" have any dependency on master pages? I'm using below code to set and clear localStorage.

C#

//sets the value
if (typeof  (Storage) != "undefined") {
    localStorage.UserInput = 'xxxx';
}

//clearing
localStorage.clear();

Any help will greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Renjith

I tried the following in the IE debugger console;

VB

>>localStorage["Dave"] = "Dave";
"Dave"
>>localStorage.Aproperty = "Dave";
"Dave"
>>localStorage["Dave"];
"Dave"
>>localStorage.Aproperty
"Dave"
>>localStorage.clear();
undefined
>>localStorage.Aproperty;
undefined
>>localStorage["Dave"];
undefined

works as expected..........
