HTML5网络存储与Cookie

Question

I want to display a message to first time visitors of a specific page on my site. The message will only need to appear once.

This would be pretty simple to do using cookies but is there more benefit to using HTML5 localStorage? If so how would it be implemented?

Answer 1

1. HTML5 localStorage would be a lot more easier to implement it does not requires so many lines and it pretty straight forward how to implement. Here is an example: http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_webstorage_local_clickcount
2. The other option that was described here is cookie. Cookie is a widely used solution but it requires more lines to write a cookie, but as it was mentioned above the advantage is the fact that cookie is used through out many old browsers. Here is an example of cookie: http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_cookie_username

Looking at the future considering the fact that OP are changing dramatically as well as browsers and it now becomes a requirement that more and more browsers have to support HTML5 I would consider localStorage
