"Access Denied" for localstorage in ALL IEs

there's been a couple benchmaks with cookies against localStorage, localStorage was better. It's good as long as we don't start storing images or several hundred BK of data in there. Right now it's for true/false and short strings values.

If IE10 fuck us up with localStorage we have to go with session storage, which isn't a big deal for toolbar, the show row weight value. If that doesn't work either I'll just give up on the whole thing and start the IE ranting.

For now let's try to get to the bottom of the issue first.

I don't have a Win8 to test on :(

I've just tested this.
System: Win8 64x, IE10 with default (recommended) security settings.
Server: localhost (http://d8.localhost)

Besides the fact that I can't find the code mentioned in the stackoverflow.com issue: if(window.localStorage.getItem('phone') == null)
Everything seems to work as expected, no error reports.
If I'm not wrong the toolbar uses to localStorage too (e.g. localStorage.getItem('Drupal.toolbar.activeTab')).
And restoring the active tab after closing and re-opening the browser is working.

did you by any chance selected "no" and "never show this message again" when a website first tried to used localStorage?

how about sessionstorage, is that working at all?

Thanks a lot for the extensive testing. I'll look into it. Not bound by feature freeze so it might get pushed to next week if nobody is up for it :) But it is strange that I haven't heard about that before.

That default config is a big fail. Anyway I'll pass on the IE bashing for now.

das-peter tested with a proper domain, can you edit your host file to have something like http://d8.localhost/ and try again?

From what I read they disable it to avoid leaking data to other things, after all on your localhost anything under the ip has access to localstorage, cookies and all.

I don't think I can reset settings, that was just the second time I opened IE on a machine which I just got. The first time I used it to download chrome, the second time was the test from above and this time I confirmed that I want to use the recommended security settings - on the first run I simply skipped this step as I don't intend to use IE...
From my point of view my settings are as untouched as it can get - as far as the Lenovo pre-installed Win8 hasn't a modified IE version.
I'm running the stuff in Desktop mode, my user-account has administrative privileges but I didn't run IE with the command "Run as administrator".

I've just created another, non administrative, user on my machine and logged in with it.
Same behaviour, on first IE startup I confirmed that I'll use the recommended compatibility and security settings.
After that I accessed the drupal installation, logged in as admin and browsed around. Active tab was set properly and I didn't get any error alerts or messages in the console.

Linked to #1846970: [meta] Responsive Toolbar follow-ups for followup.

added toolbar-followup tag

Still happening?

IE10 Win8 64x

Reseted my settings as in #12, no errors shows up for http://drupal8/ or http://192.168.1.42/ (the drupal8 host points to the same IP).

Hi guys, not sure if this is relevant or not but I came across this while looking for a solution to the same problem. Anyway, according to this it seems to be a corrupt user profile in IE and not related to the site itself?

Hope this helps.

2 years, any change in that issue?

Droplet is maintainer now :D

Fallback solution, what you have in mind?
