It seems as though the author does not believe in semicolon use in Javascript. Looks interesting though.

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get at, evidently unsuccessfully. For all of IE's failings, it does seem to have been first to support an awful lot of scripting features. They've always been documented , but hardly anyone seems to know about them until the other browsers popularise them, and even then IE's implementation seems to be forgotten, presumably because APIs are nonstandard and the docs use differen…
XmlHTTPRequest was created by Microsoft for OWA around 2000. I remember using JSRS ( http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/ ) at the time until Mozilla started supporting XHR. Fine times :)
Anyone know of size limitations on this storage? I am in the middle of writing a jQuery plugin and storing data in cookies which have the 4KB size limitation (which resulted in me having to "chunk" the data across several cookies). This looks like the perfect alternative!
I just tested. Like cookies, it also obeys domain-only visibility. So, all hopes for cross-domain user tracking are still doomed. sigh
Why on earth would you imply that cross-domain user tracking is a good thing ?
Edit: I misread "is" as "could be". It's a good thing to have because it could be a good thing to use. It may be a bad thing to have enabled by default, but it's a bad thing to omit outright.

I hear you there. I just wish it were easier to have multiple versions of IE laying around without having to boot a VM for each. Heh.
ThinApp [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_ThinApp ] is pretty useful when needing to do "classic" browser testing.

Looks great by the way!
MilkCrate is a wrapper around html localStorage/globalStorage that provides support for saving and querying collections of objects. MilkCrate attempts to implement a similar querying interface to mongoDB.

I'm completely unconvinced that cross-domain local storage is even remotely a good idea. I can't think of any data I'd want to store in a clientside database that I would want other sites to be able to see/modify. So, all hopes for cross-domain user tracking are still doomed. sigh Um, this is a good thing. I don't want the sites I visit to be communicating my use patterns to each other.
I am left to experiment with user fingerprinting md5(user-agent, http accept and screen resolution) but that is less than ideal situation.

Give IETester a whirl. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 preview render engines in a single executable. http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
I'm not convinced that IETester changes the underlying APIs correctly. Because of bad experience with "Multiple IE" simulators in the past I don't test on anything but the real install.
