title: What are the alternatives to html5 session storage?(not local storage)
body: <p>I want 2 javascript methods to access certain data without passing this data to any of the methods as arguments. Basically I want one method to set the data and other to consume that data using the objects already available in the browser and I want the solution to work with Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE8+ also iOS and android browsers. I believe session storage does not work on iOS. Is it correct? What are the drawbacks of session storage. I tried to append the data to the event object but it does not work in firefox and IE.</p>
