Javascript storing data
- by user985482
Hi I am a beginner web developer and am trying to build the interface of a simple e-commerce site as a personal project.The site has multiple pages with checkboxes.When someone checks an element it retrives the price of the element and stores it in a variable.But when I go to the next page and click on new checkboxes products the variable automaticly resets to its original state.How can I save the value of that variable in Javascript?
This is the code I've writen using sessionStorage but it still dosen't work when I move to next page the value is reseted.
How can I wright this code so that i dosen't reset on each page change.All pages on my website use the same script.
$(document).ready(function(){
         var total = 0;
        $('input.check').click(function(){
            if($(this).attr('checked')){
                var check = parseInt($(this).parent().children('span').text().substr(1 , 3));
                total+=check;
                sessionStorage.var_name=0 + total;
                alert(sessionStorage.var_name);
            }else{
                var uncheck = parseInt($(this).parent().children('span').text().substr(1 , 3));
                total-=uncheck;
            }
        })
