DemoTested With: IE6, FF, and Opera (If anyone can try IE7 I'd be greatful.  ) Alright, I wanted to do something unique and non-PB, so this is what I came up with. I made an artificial cacheing system that uses window.name and AJAX to do it. I've shown this to 3-4 people so far. Peter pointed out only one thing of concern, and that's how much data can be stored in window.name before the computer starts to lag. =/ I'm thinking of a way to work this out, but it hasn't been done yet so it doesn't matter really. Other then that, I don't know of anything that could pose a real problem with this.  So enjoy the open source snippet. Oh yeah, I forgot to say what its purpose is. Its purpose is to store data between page loads sort of like the cache system, so its an Artificial Cache as I said.

<script>
window.name = "data.js%m%6%m%3%w%h%a%t%e%v%e%r";
var data2 = "=D";
function erase(){
window.name = "";
}
function shout(){
alert(window.name);
}
function shoutIt(){
alert(data2);
}
</script>
<a href="javascript: shout();">Show Window Name</a><br><br>
<a href="javascript: erase();">Clear Window Name</a><br><br>
<a href="javascript: shoutIt();">Alert "data2"</a>I win . j/k Nice job Chris. I'm gonna take a look at the source later.

Just uses window.name Unfortunately, it only works until you close the tab (in FF) or the window. I open most of my links in new tabs so if it was used for something else, it wouldn't work for me XD. Nice job though... I think ;P

Yeah. That's a problem that Wonder actually gave me a solution to.... I've been thinking about integrating it into this code, but havn't really had time. Also, the reason that happens is, the name is different for the new window.

Therefore, "window" I wonder if there's a document.name....

You could create the attribute, but it only refers to the current page. navigator.name might work. o.o

Interesting, I'm gonna try it  EDIT: Works like window name, only it comes up with that horrible undefined message instead of a blank.
