localStorage in win8.1 IE11 does not synchronize

Question

setInterval(function(){
    var time = (new

I've found a workaround for this issue on Win 10. If you handle the window.onstorage event in your code then localStorage will refresh for all open tabs. Something as simple as this worked for me:

window.onstorage = function(e){
    //Leave this empty
    //or add code to handle
    //the event
};

I haven't tested this code thoroughly, so please do so before using this method in any production apps.

Hope this helps!
