gistfile1.js

if (typeof window.localStorage == 'undefined' || typeof window.sessionStorage == 'undefined') (function () {

var Storage = function (type) {
  function createCookie(name, value, days) {
    var date, expires;

    if (days) {
      date = new Date();
      date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
      expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();

basically where should get inserted? eg in the head after my other scripts but before </head>…? what if exist scripts to the end of html just pior </body>…?

Hi,

Ideally, all scripts should be inserted just before the closing <body> tag.
What is important in this case, is that you include the polyfill before you try and use it.

thanks — so insert polyfill prior web storage sets and gets exist…so in head prior my script.js…

jquery uses web storage … if yes from what version? if my jQ uses this i must use polyfill even prior jQ?

Yes.

Before the closing <body> tag is better

jQuery has nothing to do with HTML5’s storage API. They are two separate things.
