sessionStorage throws error when cookies are disabled #34

// this line var sessionStorage = window['sessionStorage'];

Causes errors when, for whatever reason, cookies are disabled. This can be because of 'disable cookies' in a development-plugin, or the 'Block third-party cookies and site data' in the Chrome content settings when running the site in a Facebook IFrame.

Calls to window['sessionStorage'] should be wrapped in a try-catch.

Thank you for help!

This doesn't seem to be enough for Safari Mobile which reports window['sessionStorage'] as true even if in Private Browsing mode. The only solution I've come across so far is attempting to set and get an item.
