How can I have the Javascript input data into sessionStorage?

Question

Heeeeeelllllllppppppp.....

Answer 1

Well, why use sessionStorage, so?

The first link I've previously posted said:

Ses­sion­Stor­age
- Per­sists a stor­age area for the dura­tion of the page ses­sion.
- Use it when you need to store some data tem­porar­ily. A page ses­sion imple­men­ta­tion might be dif­fer­ent based on browser ven­dor and its version.
- Data is available as long as the browser is open, includ­ing page reloads and restoresIt gets deleted the time when the tab/window who cre­ated the ses­sion is closed

Local­Stor­age
- Per­sists the data until the user explic­itly deletes the data.
- Use it when you need to store some data for the long term.
- Data is available even after the browser is closed and reopened

LocalStorage maybe? As you want display the location by an alert, I guess you would like to store the value for acceding to it in another session/page ( sessions in this context have not same meaning as sessions in Php ^^ )... Anyway, always from the first link:

The fol­low­ing exam­ple shows the native get­ter and set­ter meth­ods for local­Stor­age. Sim­i­lar meth­ods do exist for ses­sion­Stor­age as well:

// setterlocal
Storage.setItem("employeeName", "Ryan");
localStorage.setItem("employeeId", 121456789);

// getter
var name = localStorage.getItem("employeeName"); // Ryan
var id = localStorage.getItem("employeeId"); // 121456789

Do you also need help for getting location? :P

Answer 2

what i want to do is have the js find the coderunner's location, input it into sesionStorage, then tell the code runner their location in the form of an alert

Answer 3

That's just web pages with essentially textual informations ^^

If you want more precise help, on a particular topic, be less vagueless, show/explicit your code context... We cannot guess enough to much more good targeting a right answer.

Firstly you need to well known differences between sessionStorage and localStorage object:
