How do I pass variables to another page?

[jammer20002]

I want to take variables in one page and pass them onto another.

How can I do this?

AND... then VERY importantly, I want to fill values in the next page with values that have been passed through
from the previous page.

How do I do this?

I've looked in several Javascript books... but... I can't seem to be able to find answers to both fo the abvoe q's.

What I want to do is create a very simple shopping cart.
I've tried a few postings... but all the answers I get are all unecessarily complex.

ANY help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can pass variables between pages through the query string. This is assuming that you're going between the pages through a link... If so, try something like this:

<a href="page2.htm?varName1=value1&varName2=value2&varNameN=valueN">link</a>

The query string can then be accessed through parent.location.search. If you're not sure how to do that, try reading the last few posts on this thread:

You may be better off using cookies for a shopping cart. I'm not to good on cookies my self, but there is a good tutorial at http://www.webmonkey.com .
Good luck,

Oh wow, I'm sorry. I didn't read the whole post... I'm such a hypocrite :(. Anyway, I did reply to your other post, but I don't know if you noticed or not:

You should pretty much just be able to copy & paste that onto your page. Hope that helps!
