How to get values from one html document to other?

[Guest_imported]

I want to get the values from one document to other. I mean we r doing some on line quiz program. Suppose there is the Html document by the name ques.html. These contains questions. For every correct answer for each question i want to store the values in a variable and finally i need to pass the value to score.html. Is is possible to do in HTML/DHTML? Please help me.

You can move from the first document to your "score" document by using a little javascript function to tack on your question/answer pairs to the URL string:


function moveToScore() {
location.href="score.html?question1=something&answer1=something";
}

Of course, you'll have to concatenate the question/answer pairs in the URL string dynamically.

Then you can retrieve your values by parsing the return value of location.href:

function getValues()
{
values=location.href;
// Now parse the string for your question answer pairs
}

Another way is to use cookies to store your values. IMHO using cookies is a better approach.

You can also use Hidden fields pass the data
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;answer1&quot; value=.....>
etc...
