Pass Variables to another page
Hello everybody
What I want to do is to pass data contained in a script to another page and use the retrieved data to display content on the other page.
ie:
thisPage.html
<html>
<head>
<script>
function pants(pic, picname, picdesc, price) {
...
(What code do I put here to send the data to theOtherPage.html?)
...
}
</script>
</head>
...
...
</html>
-------------
theOtherPage.html
<html>
<head>
...
...
What do I put here to display the data retrieved from thisPage.html
...
...
</html>
I hope this makes sense.
Many thanks in advance.

There are several different ways to do it, but it depends on certain factors. Is thisPage.html a child or parent window of theOtherPage.html? Or does thisPage.html link to theOtherPage.html?

Hi there
I'm sorry, I should have added that thisPage.html would have links attached to thumbnails and set out as <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="pants('woman-read
When the link is clicked, theOtherPage.html would be loaded with the data retrived from pants(...) written and displayed in it.
I know that a page can be written on the fly and I am using this method at the moment, but I have thisPage.html loaded into an <iframe> that resizes depending on the page content. However the 'on-the-fly' created page doesn't resize the <iframe> no matter how hard I try.
So, to kill two birds with one stone so to speak, parsing the data to an another html file would resize the <iframe> when the new page is loaded and be easier to make alterations to, if needed.

Hi ren_b
This works. However, just a couple of questions.
1. Can I alter the document.writeln() statement to document.write() so that the page can be laid out differently?
2. Can I use the data retrieved in pants[1] as the document title?

1. ya you can change the document.writeln to whatever you want, that was just an example.
2. document.title = pants[1]
2. document.title = pants[1]
