Pass value between pages

[Tea.Cup]

I would like to open a page with a link and pass a value to it.

If the value is 'x' then it must to one thing, 'y' another, the same with 'y' else nothing passed.

Things like display a table, redirect a page etc

Unless you want to put the variable into a form, you need to send them along with the URL. This means that your links will have to be dynamic, i.e. updated with JavaScript. Is that alright?

if you want to open a link in a new window that is the new window is a child of the parent then you can pass values directly to and from parent window...and if you are passing values to a URL without knowing about its window reference then you can use URL and apend value at the end of the URL.

I want to pass a string from the menu to a child page - if the string is wrong it must load a different page

and JavaScript is OK
