Local Storage Issues

Howdy, I am trying to transfer user variable data between tabs during the same browser session. I have a published folder and in the story_content folder there are 2 other published storyline course...
storyline 360

    if you read the local storage

    you get the string "true" or "false"

    in your script you use boolean compare

    change the line - add two quotes

    if(Fam_completed == "true") {

     edit:

    • you should check the storyline variables - are they "Text" (string) or "True/False" (boolean)
    • the data types must match between storyline / javascript / localStorage

    Thank you so much, that worked perfect. I knew it was something simple.
    I was wondering if there is a way to bring the original window back into focus when the child window closes? Any suggestions would help tremendously.

    Thank you,

      Hi Tracy!

      Glad to see Walt and Jurgen have been helping you with your Javascript request!

      I just wanted to share that part of your e-mail signature came through when you replied via e-mail. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
