How do I make level selection menus?

I want to make a level selection menu. I know how to make them but my question is, is it possible so that if the player has not reached level 3, he cant click on the level 3 icon? I would also want to know how to make that be saved on the game file so that if the player comes back, he can select the one he stayed in.

I am planning to publish my game in HTML5 so the game has to be capable of saving that info on a cookie or something.

I completely finished 5 levels that are fantastic, I hired graphic designers and sprite artists so my levels look way over the edge but my game is no good without actual level select menu.

Um...Just make global variables for each level. "If player clicks on level 2 and level 1 is complete, go to level 2"

You can save these global variables using the storage object, or some other object...I cant remember but it's quite simple. Just look for a tutorial about saving and loading data.

I managed to make the level selector using global variables. It was very simple. The thing is that I cant save them. I already tried looking and have found nothing of what i need. Its basically a "save" command so that when the game is opened, the global variables are still the same.

Instead of global variables use webstorage, this way the saves last until the user cleares the browser cache. There should be plenty of information about it in the forum.

Finally got it working. Thanks!
