retain Collapsible state on page refresh

newqqq · February 24, 2021

Hello,

I'm trying to update a rather basic site I've written, it's intended to be rather basic, however i can't for the life of me figure out how to retain the state of the collapsible on browser refresh.

Any pointers would be helpful, although i feel i may just be being stupid!

I did a rather lengthy researching exercise and came up with all sorts of contradicting information and suggestions, some refer to writing cookies, so writing to the local storage and others embedding the state directly into the JS.

Whichever is simplest would be ideal, but I'm slightly confused as to which i should be looking into.

Thanks,

  coll[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
    this.classList.toggle("active");
    var content = this.nextElementSibling;
    if (content.style.display === "block") {
      content.style.display = "none";
    } else {
      content.style.display = "block";
    }
  });
}

Cookie and local storage is the way to go! Difficulty is the same, everytime a button is clicked you store the current state the element becomes. When you leave and return to a page, you wait till page is fully loaded, check if storage is not empty and retrieve current status value and then target the element to match the stored value.
