I'm trying to use localStorage to store user-inputted text in textarea - I have a Save button to save the data to localStorage and a Reload button to retrieve the data to localStorage.
However, even though I am receiving screen alerts and the console is telling me that the button is working properly, everytime I enter data into the textarea and click "Save", then delete the data and click "Reload", nothing reloads.
Curiously, it does reload if I refresh the page and click "Reload", but not if I'm on the same page continuously.
I am confused as to why - am I not using localStorage properly? Is there something wrong with my JavaScript functions?
Here is my code:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
To Do:<p>
<textarea id="todo" cols="50" rows="10">
</textarea><p>
<button id="save">Save</button>
<button id="reload">Reload</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
//save entered info
document.getElementById("save").addEventListener("click", function ()
{
var todo = document.getElementById("todo").value ;
localStorage.setItem("todo", todo) ;
alert("Saved To-Do List") ;
console.log("Saved To-Do List")
} , false);
//reload last session
document.getElementById("reload").addEventListener("click", function ()
{
document.getElementById("todo").innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("todo");
alert("Reloaded To-Do List") ;
console.log("Reloaded To-Do List")
} , false);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Replace This line document.getElementById("todo").innerHTML ='Your code'
to this document.getElementById("todo").value ='Your code' .
Try this code it's works
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
To Do:<p>
<textarea id="todo" cols="50" rows="10">
</textarea>
<p>
<button id="save">Save</button>
<button id="reload">Reload</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
//save entered info
document.getElementById("save").addEventListener("click", function () {
var todo = document.getElementById("todo").value;
localStorage.setItem("todo", todo);
alert("Saved To-Do List");
console.log("Saved To-Do List")
}, false);
//reload last session
document.getElementById("reload").addEventListener("click", function () {
document.getElementById("todo").value = localStorage.getItem("todo");
alert("Reloaded To-Do List");
console.log("Reloaded To-Do List")
}, false);
</script>
</body>
</html>
