Server globals

[Jacques Clavel]

Hi Tim,

You can also use localStorage for user specific data at the browser level :
In your .lc script on the server :
to store

<script> localStorage.jcf2 = '" &sDir&  "'</script>


and retrieve data

<script> var jMem = localStorage.getItem('jcf2');</script>


Regards,

JC
