Let's consider a scenario for testing purposes: you have a function that appends <li> elements inside an <ol>
container, and you want to retain all the list items added. Is there a way to store them in Local Storage (or any other local storage method) so they can be retrieved every time the page is reloaded?
I've looked into the Window.localStorage API but couldn't find a method to store dynamic elements like this. As a student, I might not recognize the best practice for doing this. Any ideas or suggestions?
var textcounter = 1;
var inputcounter = 1;
function addText() {
var div = document.getElementById("div");
var texttobestored =document.createElement("li");
texttobestored.id = "text" + textcounter;
texttobestored.style.color="red";
texttobestored.innerHTML = "<p>I WANT TO KEEP THIS TEXT</p>";
div.appendChild(texttobestored);
textcounter++;
}
function addInputs() {
var div = document.getElementById("div");
var inputstobestored =document.createElement("li");
inputstobestored.id = "input" + inputcounter;
inputstobestored.innerHTML = "<input placeholder = ContentsToBeSaved>";
inputstobestored.style.color = "blue";
inputstobestored.style.width = "600px";
div.appendChild(inputstobestored);
inputcounter++;
}#div{
width:600px;
}<html>
<body>
<ol id="div">
<button onclick="addText()" style="height:100px;width:100px">ADD TEXT</button>
<button onclick="addInputs()" style="height:100px;width:100px">ADD INPUTS</button>
</ol>
</body>
