persist value between two pages using javascript

Question

i have a one html page in which i am storing few user selected values now and want to use these values on another html page.

i am using jquery in my module and i have already tried window.name and window.localStorage but they don't persist values between two pages.

so please help me to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Store the data in a cookie.

Answer 2

If it's just a few values, how about cookies?

Answer 3

Store the value inside a cookie on the first page and and retrive it on the second. Its very easy with the Jquery Cookie plugin http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie

Answer 4

You would have to try and use cookies ( Assuming users are nice enough to enable those) here is a very useful linkie:

Answer 5

If you don't want a cookies--and if you're directing from the first page to the second, how about passing the values as GET variables to the next page:

http://example.com/newpage.html?var1=blah?var2=blerg

then you can access that data with window.location.search.

Answer 6

You could use the "hash":

http://my.app.com/page2.html#name1=val1&name2=val2

The hash would be ignored by the server, keeping things "clean". The second page can read the hash from

window.location.hash

and then parse out the name/value pairs with some simple string/regexp/array manipulation.

If you wanted the hash to be "hidden", your second page could also then remove the hash from the URL - this would not result in another trip to the server - changes to hash only result in browser/client side behaviour.
