A jQuery plugin to manage local storage and cookies simultaneously in a simple interface.
We found that HTML5 Local Storage gave us the best return in terms of reliability and speed. Internet Explorer compatibility? Not so much. So we wrote totalStorage, a jQuery plugin that combines the ease and usefulness of totalStorage with the universal compatibility of cookies (along with some helpful tools like automatic JSON encoding/decoding).
The browser doesn’t support local storage it will fall-back to cookies! (Using the wonderful $.cookie plugin).
Send it strings, numbers even complex object arrays! TotalStorage does not care. Your efforts to defeat it will prove futile.
Simple as shit. jStorage and some other very well-written plugins provide a bevy of options for expiration, security and so forth. Frequently this is more power than you need and vulnerable to confusion if you just want it to work (JWITW)
