Accessing variables

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 15.2005

Hoping someone can help out here …

Creating two page – Page A calling Page B with some variables. Now when in Page B, is there anyway to access the variables of Page A without having it explicitly written out?

For example, if on Page B I put <input type=”hidden” name=”Page_A_Var” value=”foo”>, I can access it via document.forms[0].Page_A_Var.value. But what if I opt not to do this? Can I still access the value of Page_A_Var?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@JonaMar 16.2005 — [font=trebuchet ms]You'll have to explain a little further. Is Page A open at the same time that Page B is (e.g., a frame, iframe or new window)? If not, there are only two ways you can send data from Page A to Page B: cookies or a query string.[/font]

@cycle_coderauthorMar 16.2005 — Hi Jona,

Thanks for the reply - to further detailed here's the code to Page A:

-------------------------

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

</head>

<body>

<form name="testform" action="testme.html" method="Post">

<input type="hidden" name="monkey" value="spider">

<input type="submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>


---------------------------------

Here's Page B:

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

<script>

function find_monkey() {

alert(monkey);

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form>

<input type="button" value="click" onclick="find_monkey();">

</form>

</body>

</html>

-----

Now is there a way that I can program find_monkey to tell me what the value of monkey is - once it is passed from Page A to Page B?

Thanks again,
