I'm using sessionStorage but why i'm getting [object Object] in console:-

Jquery Code:-

$('#accordionParent').on('click', '[value="Save"]', function () {
            $('#accordion .panel').hide();
            var openCollapse = $(this);
            window.sessionStorage.setItem('setCollapse', openCollapse)
        })

        if (sessionStorage.getItem('setCollapse') !== null) {
            getCollapse.parents('.panel').show();
        }

I want to show collapse using sessionStorage simply its working fine but i have to show collapse after refresh page so i'm using sessionStorage.

Where i'm wrong?

Thanks!

Because it stores only strings. – Denys Séguret Jul 25 '18 at 10:01
`openCollapse` is a jquery object containing a DOM element. You can't store DOM elements in session storage. What are you really trying to save? – Barmar Jul 25 '18 at 10:03
How can i do it? – Rohit Verma Jul 25 '18 at 10:03

Given that a DOM element exists only on your current page, there is no point in storing it in a storage whose only purpose is to live past the page. – Denys Séguret Jul 25 '18 at 10:04
you are trying to save an object into session storage but it only saves string. If you really want to save that object then you should stringify the object and store it.. hope this helps :) – Bikash Chapagain Jul 25 '18 at 10:04
