I've spent this afternoon going round and round in circles.

I have a local storage variable called requestcount (set to a number, although from what I've read all numbers are stored as a string in local storage?)

So every time the user clicks a submit button I want to add 1 to the value of requestcount.

here's what I have that doesn't work:

var rc = parseInt(localStorage.getItem('requestcount'));
rc++;
localStorage.setItem('requestcount',rc)

Alert before moving to next page shows the correct incremental increase (say 3), however when I go to the next page and alert the localStorage variable I get 31???

So how does it work?

Is this something peculiar to Appery? I return to the same page that initiated the addition and the alert that was there on load no longer fires?

Page show is where you put alerts then not load?

This is what fixed it:

var rc = +localStorage.getItem('requestcount');
rc++;
localStorage.setItem('requestcount',rc);
alert(localStorage.getItem('requestcount'));

Hello Tony,

Thank you for update. Glad it works
