Extracting post data

I am having a short brain f@#t and haven’t been coding js for a while.

What is the correct method for passing named values from a client back to the next client screen without sticking the info as an url query string?

@WolfShadeNov 23.2010 — Client-side scripting (JavaScript) cannot access POST data; only servers see that (and server-side dynamic scripting languages like ASP, PHP, ColdFusion.) You can use JavaScript server-side, but that's a different beast. Client-side, the only way you can get form data is if method=GET; then you can parse the URL variables.
