save Method

Saves an object participating in userData persistence to a UserData store.

Syntax

userData.save(sStoreName)

Parameters

sStoreName Required. String that specifies the arbitrary name assigned to a persistent object within a UserData store.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

The save method writes information into a UserData store. You can determine access to a UserData store by specifying a path within the immediate directory tree between the Web root and the current folder. For example, if you save the UserData store in the /private/ folder, a Web page located in the /public/ folder cannot access the UserData store.
This method requires an object participating in userData persistence, where that object has an ID and a class name equal to the desired persistence behavior.
