Hi Chris, you should be able to use the Gears Database to store your name/value pairs. Just create a SQL table with appropriate columns, and write each name/value pair as a row in the column. You can do all of this with JavaScript, and the data will be persistent. Do you have a server as well? If so, then you will need to do data syncing. Details on the Gears Database API here:
