OK, been on this for the whole day.

I am trying to import the data stored in sessionStorage (and have tried localStorage) into an equation question.
The syntax (below) works on my other webpage, but doesn't seem to work in the equation. It generates a "null" result.

Here is the syntax in the equation:
<script>
document.write(sessionStorage.getItem("repnamelp2"));
</script>

NOTE - if I use this javascript, it gives the correct "TESTING" result:
<script>
sessionStorage.setItem("repnametest", "TESTING");
document.write(sessionStorage.getItem("repnametest"));
</script>
but the first one is the one I want working.

Any thoughts on why it cannot capture the data?

Thanks.

You are referring to browser local storage and, as far as I know, LimeSurvey doesn't use that.

You always come through for people here Tony. Thanks.

The second instance shows that LS can access the storage successfully, but I wonder if it has something to do with LS clearing the storage upon loading, but that's way beyond our pay grades.

I will start another topic on a work-around thought I had.

Thanks.

Hi,

For javascript : always use jquery , replace document.write by $("#anelement").html(sessionStorage.getItem("repnametest")); for example.

Thanks, Denis, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

Hi, Denis, I tried using the code you supplied, but it wasn't working, possibly likely because I don't have the syntax correct.

I have been able to use session.Storage AFTER LimeSurvey loads and been able to "setItem" in one survey and then immediately transfer to the next survey (totally different one) and then use "getItem" to retrieve the information, and it works perfectly. Issue is that I cannot seem to get the information to be used elsewhere in LimeSurvey. Here is the detailed information on my other post:

If you have any insight into this, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks.

Can you provide some background information about what you need/want to use this for?

With $("#anelement") : you need an element with id='anelement' .

Maybe best is to upload a litlle survey with 2 group.

ANd something other : don't use equation question : because equation is done in PHP.
