localStorage on wp8 error

Question

I have a WP8 HTML/JS app and I need to save some simple data on the local storage. It should be something very easy, but it is giving my a headache already.

I tried to call the localStorage in many different ways but it doesn't work. The error message I get is: The system cannot find the file specified.

The strange part, is that the sessionStorage seems to be fine. At least I don't get any error using that object.

Additional info: - The ways I called localStorage are: localStorage.setItem(), window['localStorage'], window.localStorage, etc. they all say the same message. - I am developing a Windows Phone HTML app OS8. - The method I call the localStorage is in $('#channels').bind('pagebeforeshow', function (e, data) {...} - The only references in the project are .Net for Windows Phone and Windows Phone. - Some of the js libs I included are jQuery, jQuery mobile and ko. - I am testing on both WP8 device and Emulator

I prefer not to use phoneGap and any other known db for devices, since I wouldn't like to involve interaction with the native code just to make the call to fetch and save some data.

UPDATE 1: After thefrontender comment, I investigated one by one my js refs. The problem appear when I add the jqm 1.3 min. All js are bundled with my app. Any other suggestions?

$(function () {
        try {
            localStorage.setItem('aaa', 123);
            alert(localStorage.aaa);
        }
        catch (err) { alert(err.message) }
    });

Answer 1

And if you replace

alert(localStorage.aaa);

with

alert(localStorage.getItem('aaa');

Answer 2

I got my answer form jQuery official forum after all. You need to add modernizr with atleast localStorage from HTML5 section.
