With support as far back as Internet Explorer 8, it's a mystery why using Web Storage hasn't become a standard practice for IBM Notes Domino application developers. Perhaps it's an unfamiliarity with the browser-based persistent storage solution or - for those of you familiar with the name - stringValue architecture - you might not consider the direct correlation with the methods most XPages developers use daily.

Either way, after this article you'll fully understand what Web Storage is and how you can use it in your own development efforts.

Good developers will walk away with new techniques to add to their arsenal.

Great developers however will evolve their code not only with any appropriate newly-required technique, but will look at the approach each developer took to craft their method.

While I will be specifically giving you an example of argument relaying in JavaScript, this technique can be used in JavaScript or any server-side emulated JavaScript language (eg., SSJS in IBM Notes Domino XPages).

As a multi-platform developer, I'm always on the lookout for new tools to help me get the job done. A solid and extendable IDE (or Integrated Developer Environment) can mean the difference between feeling empowered by your platform or feeling like you're l33t hacking just to get something functional deployed.

As the technical editor of the latest book from IBM Press on XPages, I had a first look at what was shaping up to be an absolute must-have resource for the OpenNTF.org Extension Library and XPages development.
