javascript sending variable

[Dan]

Hi,

Is there a way to send a variable to a different page that it is
redirecting to? For example,

<script type="text/javascript">

var o;
if ( (o = top)
&& (o = o.frames)
&& (o = o.bob)
&& (o = o.document)
&& (o = o.title)
&& o == "test"
){
document.write("yes")
} else {
document.location.href = "New Text Document.php "
}
</script>

If it is false, I would like it to set a variable that it will send to
the page "New Text Document.php" (that it is redirecting to). Is this
possible?

Looks like my code, although I would have spared the last assignment :)
){
document.write("yes")
} else {
document.location.href = "New Text Document.php " ^ ^ ^
Err, spaces are _not_ allowed within URIs.
}
</script>

Sure,

document.location.href =
"New%20Text%20Document.php?name1=value1&name2=valu e2";

(or use concatenation and escape/encodeURIComponent.)

In PHP, you use the $_GET superglobal (PHP >= 4.1) or
$HTTP_GET_VARS (PHP < 4.1), with safer register_globals=off.

I wonder why you did not use much more reliable server-side
redirection in the first place:

`document.location(.href)' is deprecated long
since, use window.location' or just `location'.
