How to send and receive data using Javascript

[SalemLeonheart]

Hello there y'all.
So,this is a basic question,i admit,but i'm starting with javascript
now and i don't know that much.
See,i have a form,and i want to send data typed into this form fields to another page,using javascript.And i wanted to know how i can receive and work with that data on another page.Showing the content typed on the field username,for example
Can anyone answer me,or recommend any material for me to read?
Thanks

Short answer: You can't. Javascript cannot by itself send and receive values like that.


Long Answer:

To submit values to another page you can either use a form and have it submit to another page where you can then manipulate those values in many ways,

Or you can use an Ajax call to send the values to a server side script to process and then retrieve results of the processing and hand them over to JS in the same page.
