I'm struggling to get localStorage working properly on my website ().
Here's what I need to achieve:
- A newsletter subscription pop-up on every page - this part is functioning correctly
- An option for users to click 'X' to close the pop-up - works fine as well
- Remembering the closed state of the window so that users don't see the pop-up again on other pages - unfortunately, this functionality isn't working at all.
My approach was to use a localStorage variable and check if the window should be displayed or not based on that. However, it seems like my logic and syntax might be incorrect. Any guidance on the correct method would be highly appreciated.
This is the code snippet I've been experimenting with for the subscription pop-up:
<script>
function setSignup(val) {
localStorage.setItem("popState", val);
}
function getSignup() {
$(window).on("load", function() {
if(localStorage.getItem("popState") == 'hide'){
//$(".signup").hide();
$(".signup").css("display", "none");
}
else if (localStorage.getItem("popState") != 'hide'){
$(".signup").css("display", "block");
}
});
}
</script>
<div class="signup">
<div class="signup-header">Sustainable Living</div>
<span class="closebtn" onclick="setSignup('hide');this.parentElement.style.display='none';">×</span>
<div class="signup-container">
