The following script does not work for me in 3.6. Would love to know what I'm doing wrong:window.onstorage = function() { alert("HI"); } localStorage.foo = localStorage.foo + " ";
In Gecko storage events for a change in window X are fired at all windows _except_ X that use that localStorage.
This is in fact what the spec says to do. See http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/#localStorageEvent which says:
When the setItem(), removeItem(), and clear() methods are called on a Storage object x that is associated with a local storage area, if the methods did something, then in every HTMLDocument object whose Window object's localStorage attribute's Storage object is associated with the same storage area, ****other than x****, a storage event must be fired, as described below. (emphasis added).
I don't get anything on the error console or any alert. (Though it works in Safari and Opera.)
Sounds like some bugs need to be filed on Safari and Opera. -Boris
