Popup = new window created with the window.open() method
Now, first you need to append your javascript variables to the URL in a standard query string format which is this:link.htm?var1=value1&var2=value2And so on, separating each variable/value pair with the &
Now depending on how you are opening this new window, you have several choices. Here's one example<script>
function doLink(nUrl) {
var urlStr = nUrl + "?var1=" + variable1 + "&var2=" + variable2;
window.open(urlStr,'_blank','');
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:doLink('page.htm');">Click here</a>Ok, this will open a new window with our query string properly constructed. This example assumes that variable1 and variable2 are global variables on this page.
Now, in our new window (page.htm) you will need my parseGetVars() (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4555) function. This will extract the data from the query string into variables you can use on the page. And example for page.htm might look like this<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script>
function parseGetVars() {
var getVars = new Array();
var qString = unescape(top.location.search.substring(1));
var pairs = qString.split(/\&/);
for (var i in pairs) {
var nameVal = pairs[i].split(/\=/);
getVars[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1];
}
return getVars;
}
var g = parseGetVars();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.write(g['var1'] + "<br>");
document.write(g['var2']);
</script>
</body>
</html>
