LocalStorageGet (Function)

In french: StockageLocalRécupère

Retrieves a value from the local storage.

Example

LocalStorageGet(EDT_NameInput)

Syntax

<Result> = LocalStorageGet(<Element name> [, <Persistent>])

<Result>: Character string

Retrieved value.
Remark: If the value of a control is retrieved, the control is automatically assigned with the retrieved value.

<Element name>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Name of the element whose value must be retrieved: name of the value or name of the control.

<Persistent>: Optional boolean

True to work on the persistent local storage (default value),
False to work on the storage local to a browser window.

Remarks

Local storage persistent or not

During a persistent local storage, the stored values can be shared by all the windows and tabs of the same browser on a computer: therefore, they can be retrieved once the browser was closed then reopened or in another window of the browser.

During a non-persistent local storage, the stored values are specific to a window (or to a tab) of the browser. in this case, the values will be lost when the browser window (or tab) is closed. On the contrary, these values can be read by the browser windows opened from the window where the values have been stored.
