Retain Variable's Value after refreshing a webpage

Question

I want to refresh a web page and retain the value of the variable (created in javascript) when the page is reloaded.

for eg: var cnt = 5; cnt++;

I want the value of 'cnt' to be 6 even after I refresh a page. How can I do it?

Answer 1

I don't see how you can do this, except by using cookies or session.

Answer 2

Store the values in cookies or use browser local storage.

Answer 3

Or put them after the hash tag.

var cnt=5; -> refresh page with adding hash to the url:

http://domain.com/index.php#cnt=5

then extract it after reload...

Google: window.location.hash
