How to save a HTMLElement (Table) in localStorage?
- by Hagbart Celine
I've been trying this for a while now and could not find anything online...
I have a project, where tablerows get added to a table. Works fine.
Now I want to save the Table in the localStorage, so I can load it again. (overwrite the existing table).
function saveProject(){
//TODO: Implement Save functionality
var projects = [];
projects.push($('#tubes table')[0].innerHTML);
localStorage.setItem('projects', projects);
//console.log(localStorage.getItem('projects'));
The problem is the Array "projects" has (after one save) 2000+ elements. But all I want is the whole table to be saved to the first (or appending later) index.
In the end I want the different Saves to be listed on a Option element:
function loadSaveStates(){
alert('loading saved states...');
var projects = localStorage.getItem('projects');
select = document.getElementById('selectSave'); //my Dropdown
var length = projects.length,
element = null;
console.log(length);
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
element = projects[i];
var opt = document.createElement('option');
opt.value = i;
opt.innerHTML = 'project ' + i;
select.appendChild(opt);
}
}
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
