to Tasker
Hi joao
I have downloaded below example template from www.w3schools.com. I am in a bit confusion how can I save values to tasker's global variables.
Thanks in advance from Mahammad Rafi.

Hi
Anyone know the solution for this?

Which value(s) from that web page do you want to save?
In general, one uses Tasker's "Variable Set" action to set a variable,. To make a variable Global vs. Local, its name should have at least one capital letter (e.g. %ToDo_Task vs. $todo_task).

Hi
Use that in scenes in element called web view . Then you can understand what I am saying.

Still a bit unclear -- do you want to get the list of checked items, all items, just added items, etc.

Hi
All items which were previously saved and currently savings. All items I want to save. I hope I have explained better.

You'd want to add some Tasker-compatible JavaScript to the <script> portion of your HTML file. Something like so (additions are highlighted in blue):

document.getElementById("myUL").appendChild(li);
}
document.getElementById("myInput").value = "";
var span = document.createElement("SPAN");
var txt = document.createTextNode("\u00D7");
span.className = "close";
span.appendChild(txt);
li.appendChild(span);

This page has more information on JavaScript within Tasker, including how to set and get global (and local) Tasker variables.
Of course the HTML has a static set of tasks. If you wanted to set the list from a Tasker variable, that'd require calling the Tasker global() function to get the previously saved tasks, and then using JavaScript to populate the to-do list within the HTML and script

Hi
Thanks a lot for the info. Still I am in a bit confusion. I have tried the script. But not getting it to work. Post the full script for my understanding.
Once again thanks a lot.

Works for me. I open the scene in Activity mode in the task. I can check/uncheck, add items, etc., and the changes are reflected in Tasker global vars.

Hi
But not working in my device. I am unable to add,remove,click on add button and more.
Is there any specific reason for it. I have checked scene in several ways activity mode, dialog.

If you see something this in your scene's Webview element...
... but tapping on items doesn't put a checkmark in them, and tapping "Add" doesn't do anything, it sounds like JavaScript isn't active in your scene. The only thing I'm aware of to check, is to ensure "Allow Phone Access" is checked in the Webview's options:
Aside from that, I have no idea. You could try creating an HTML file with nothing but a JavaScript alert() call in an embedded script, to test whether JavaScript is working at all.
