Preserved Topic: Passing values between pages.

I have created a html document that functions as a Catalog Page browser using javascript. Each page consists of a jpg that has it's URL calulated via a component number and a user defined page number etc....

What I would like to do is have my catalog browser pop up when I click on an image link of the front cover on a separate index page. Is there away to pass a value from a link on one page to a form feild or javascript on another page?

I would perfer not to use frames and would like for the main page to remain open. I need a solution that will work under netscape 4 and IE. 5.5 on the mac and pc. I have to I will create it all as one page with the javascript as an external script. I would perfer as a pop-up, as others need to maintain the covers index page and I wish it to remain simple and as fool proof as possiable.

You can pass values to other pages via query string (yourpage.html?parameter=value) and you can access query string from those pages via location.search variable...

Thanks for the help that just what I needed. Just parse the returned string and it works slick.
