HTML5 offers two new objects for storing data on the client:

LocalStorage - stores data with no time limit

<script type="text/javascript">
localStorage.lastname="Smith";
document.write(localStorage.lastname);
</script>

SessionStorage - stores data for one session.The data is deleted when the user closes the browser window.

<script type="text/javascript">
sessionStorage.lastname="Smith";
document.write(sessionStorage.lastname);
</script>
