Local Storage in Start Page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 14.2018

Hi,

I’m trying to develop my HTML/CSS/JS skills by first creating a start page that is run and stored locally. It will feature bookmarks and data from 3rd party APIs, such as current weather. I’ve run into an issue with local storage, though. Apparently, it will not work when run from the desktop. What alternatives are there? I’ve thought of using IndexedDB but that seems a bit overkill for the simply data I need to store.

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Duke17authorJun 15.2018 — Thanks, root. Here is the error I received:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

at file:///C:/Startpage/weather.js:8:32

Is there a setting in Chrome I need to enable for it to work?

@rootJun 15.2018 — I have no issues with it on my system.

Maybe posting the code around that line number would help.
