Hello
I’m new to this forum and a newbie with javascript. I hope someone can help me with this:
I have an html page that links to a javascript, I need a variable in this javascript to be transfered and displayed on another html page.
Can you transfer a variable from one page to the other and how?
If possible please include the code … and where to put it.
I hope this was clear.
Steph
