Seems like a reasonable idea. I don't know if it's been brought up before. My guess is that Ian will say this should be re-examined for HTML6, though.<br><br>J<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 9:07 PM, Joseph Pecoraro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joepeck02@gmail.com">joepeck02@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I recently heard talk of other potential Storage areas [2]. That would make this idea even more appealing to me. Does this sound like something worth adding? Any comments?<br>

The "storage" event [1] fires for both sessionStorage and localStorage. To me, this means if you only want to interact with localStorage you will have to manually ensure that it is the storage area being modified:<br>
<br>
window.addEventListener('storage', function(e) {<br>
if ( e.storageArea === localStorage ) {<br>
// ...<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
Was there any discussion about creating events specific to the storage object, or should that already be possible? I've been playing around with WebKit's Storage implementation, and the following (understandably) is not possible:<br>
<br>
> localStorage.addEventListener<br>
undefined<br>
<br>
Is there any way to listen to events for a single specific storage area or is the previously mentioned approach preferred?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
