I'm using IE8 and the jstorage library to store data in place of cookies. This is all good until i want to clear the stored values. In chrome this is possible by navigating to the content settings page. However in IE8 it only provides an option to clear cookies which doesn't clear the values I've stored in local storage.
Any ideas how i can clear this data? I don't want to display a "clear cache" button
Try localStorage.clear() in Console panel of IE Developer toolbar. It returns an "undefined" but seems to clear local storage.
It is worth mentioning that this function only clears the localStorage of the domain of the current window, not all localStorage values for the browser.
Example: (IE8 issue) If you're website is loading external content within an iFrame, localStorage.clear() won't clear that domain inside of the iFrame unfortunately.
This was an issue with local storage support in IE8. The cache does not remove local storage so instead need to call the following from the developer tools console
$.jStorage.flush()

Is there a way to clear the indexeddb data for a specific site? I'm trying to test in localhost and need to clear the data occasionally but I don't see any GUI like in chrome:
From the dev tools switch to the Storage tab.
On the right panel, expand Indexed DB sub-menu and the website url you are interested in.
From there you can right click on each store and "delete [store name]".
I am developing a Chrome app that shows some web content in a webview tag. The content is being cached. When I edit the content files, clearing Chrome browsers' cache does not seem to actually clear the webview cache.
One of the posts recommends to assign a unique partition ID every time Chrome app starts.
Changing partition ID on the webview does help to clear (or re allocate) the cache, but I still would like to take advantage of caching 3MB of web content and clear it manually only if it changes.
Is there a way to clear that cache, in particular on Chrome OS?
This has since been implemented and is available in Chrome 43+
webviewElement.clearData({}, {cache: true}, function() {
// Cache cleared
});
I am looking for a firefox plugin that can store entire page in cache and load it when ever that address is typed, and only load content from server if we press reload cache or similar functionality.
My usecase is, I use documentation of Laravel, Bootstrap, Jquery etc on regularly based but each time I am accessing it from the internet, these pages do not have any changes for many days. I dont want to store the webpage as file and access it, I would love to do it in comfort of your web browser than opening files.
I think firefox already does this. Load a page in a tab, then go to top left firefox menu > developer > work offline.
Reload that page in tab its from cache.
If you ever go work offline it loads from cache.
I have a problem with saving session data with IE9. When users login the session is saved correctly. Now, if they browse through the application, the application stores the pagehistory into the session data (I use this for the applications back button). Unfortunately IE9 does not always save this data into the session (sometimes it does and sometimes it does not). It works perfectly with other browsers.
If you are using PHP, try adding a header like:
//vfranchi - necessary to IE8, so it won't throw a warning
header('P3P:CP="This site does not contain a P3P policy."');
I think this is related to IE8 not saving cookie information when the site doesn't have a explicit privacy policy. I had the same problem and that fixed for me.
Remember this statement needs to be before any output just like session_start()
Solved it by switching off IE8 compatibility mode.
We are using document.domain to sort out our cross domain stuff. Recently I decided to start working on a hash system on our website so there is history in the browser and bookmark links etc.
After some time google'ing I found reallysimplehistory and decided to give it a try. It works outstanding in IE8 and Chrome etc. I run into my problem in IE6 and 7 where it needs to use an IFrame to simulate history changes.
When I hit the back button in the browser it "goes back" a page but it never changes the hash in the url like it should. It has the correct number of history pages and it changes the hash when I add a new hash, but the backward and forward buttons of the browser aren't changing it.
Using the demo they supplied it was working just fine in IE6/7. When I introduced document.domain to the demo it stopped working and gave the same results my website gave.
So what do I need to do to get the back/forward buttons working in the browser again?
It might not be what you're looking for but I'd at least recommend looking at jquery-bbq which is a back functionality jquery plugin. You might be able to steal something from the source or base your app on it.
