LocalStorage object available in iBooks?

Question

Does anyone know if the local storage object is available in html widgets? Can we store and retrieve data in html widgets inside iBooks?

Here is some sample code that stores and gets some text from localStorage:
<textarea id="sometext" rows="15" cols="100"></textarea>
</br>
<input type="submit" value="Save to localStorage" onclick="save_localstorage()" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    var sometext = localStorage.sometext;
    if (sometext) {
        document.getElementById("sometext").value = sometext;
    function save_localstorage() {
        localStorage.sometext = document.getElementById("sometext").value;
</script>
I've also placed it in an example widget for you to download at:

@Rhys: Can you confirm if this still works?  I'm also having trouble with localStorage - I inserted the widget you supplied and it fails to work. If I close the widget and reopen it, the storage is wiped. I'm using iBooks Author 1.1 (190) and iBooks 2.1 (876) on an iPad 2.
Thanks.
