Saving programs written in Javascript

[cat_evilness]

Okie, I am using HTML and JavaScript to write a Virtual Pet for my project at school. I need to add an option where the user can save the program and it will save the stage that the virtual pet is at and then when they reopen the proram it will be at the same stage. Can anybody help?

huh.. is there no way that you can activate the save option in the file menu??

Nope. If you did that, you'd be saving the webpage, but none of your variables. To save the values of your variables (which is what controls your v-pet), you need to save them into cookies.
