Client-side state in IE… what about Mozilla?

Jordan Frank talks about using IE’s DHTML behaviors to store state on a
browser, and wonders when Mozilla will get similar functionality. He also
does a lot of preaching, but we’ll forgive him for that.

    The userData behaviour allows for any type of structured data to be
stored. As such, it provides an excellent alternative to using cookies to
store XML data on the client side. The Microsoft documentation states that
there is a limit of 64KB that can be stored per page, with a limit of 640KB
per domain [2]. In practice, we have yet to see any sort of limit on how much
can be stored in a UserData store… the Mozilla folks need to get their butts
in gear and implement some sort of data storage mechanism in the browser.

Or, just use Flash in any browser to accomplish the same thing. Actually, we
talked with Brendan Eich about this at the Ajax Summit, and he mentioned that
the Mozilla folks are open to implementing some sort of local store… so, who
knows what the future holds in this space.

    There has been some discussions about this on the Greasemonkey
mailinglist. It seems like a useful feature to have in Firefox. But for now,
Greasemonkey implemented it’s own data store (GM_getData/GM_setData API).

    One solution would be to implement “client-only cookies”. This would
allow to use a very similar API to access the client data and the regular
cookies. But the cookie jar would simply never send these special cookies
back to the server. They would be only visible in the cookie management UI
and from the script.
