Juliana, thanks for this clear tutorial which as far as I know it the best I found for a quick extension tutorial. I have a begginer question. Upper is how look the options page’s code to save the id=color ‘s value=fav_color within the localStorage, ok. Can you also publish an exemple of the .html/.js/.css code which will *USE* this localStorage ? That will complete your page.
PS: I also post your tutorial to the wikipedia’s communauty : ) (I’m wikipedian)

I was trying to store boolean and integers but it always showed as string when in used typeof…
for example window.localStorage.theflag = true or window.localStorage = false and i use a condition like the following if(window.localStorage.theflag) always gives true because when i alerted with type of it showed that as string and not as integer or boolean … how do we use integer data in localstorage … ? do we have to typecase or need to multiply with *1 to make the result an integer data type ???
