HTML5 Can't get my html5 game to save data with ini files.

I can save the game just fine on the mobile and windows version using ini files. But when I exported the game to html5 and upload it to gamejolt I cannot save the progress, I reload the game and all progress is lost. I put the .ini file in the included files folder and yet it still isn't working. All of the code is right because it saves the game on the other modules. Is there something else I have to do different to get it to work with html5?

Use the developer's tools in Chrome or Firefox to scan for errors. Are there CORS, 404 or other errors in the GET request to the INI file? Do you see the file's contents somewhere in the browser's local storage, and is it reaching the per-site quota?

The HTML5 export does not use a traditional file system like native exports do. It emulates files as key-value pairs in the browser's local storage and use included files as templates. Don't assume more access than what your browser is entitled to.
