DOM Storage or Web Storage is the collective name given to the following types of client storage options available in HTML5. It includes:
Local storage is persistent meaning the stored data will still be there when you close and re-open the browser window.
Session storage is temporary and is available as long as the page session lasts.
There is really no comparison between the two since technically they both are the same.

looks like localStorage is what i want..what to do if i want to implement it?are we doing it in javascript?

yes, it's all in JavaScript and actually very easy to use. example - run this on some page -
localStorage["hello"] = "world"; Close and reopen the page, and then try to access the value of localStorage["hello"]; It should return "world".

Im pretty sure the question is referring to
localStorage['first-name']="anurag" vs something like <span id="first-name" data-first-name="anurag"></span>Try to have a read here http://blog.sebarmeli.com/2010/11/22/understanding-webstorage/, you can easily understand the two objects, their methods, event attributes and their possible use.
