passing a value from one html into another html

[radsat]

Hi

I have a html page, which has some sites, when the user clicks on the site,
[HTML]<tr><td><a href="us.html" onclick = "setSiteCode('US')">USA</a></td></tr>[/HTML]
and the javascript is,

var siteCode = "";
function setSiteCode(site)
{
window.siteCode=site;
false;
}
function getSiteCode()
{
return window.siteCode;
}
 

After navigating to the next page, it has to get the information relevant to that site, I have this in the us.html
[HTML]<FRAMESET rows="12%,89%" cols="*">
<FRAME SRC="siteTitle.html" name="title">
<FRAMESET cols="15%,65%,20%">
<FRAME SRC="menu.html">
<FRAME SRC="detail.html" name="detail">
<FRAME SRC="quickLaunch.html">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET><noframes></noframes>[/HTML]


and in siteTitle.html I have this,

[HTML]<td><a href="title.html" onclick="goToMain('index.html')"> Home</a>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<script>document.write(getSiteNa me())</script></td>
[/HTML]
But when I run, it is not getting set, the getSiteName is still empty.

Would greatly appreciate your help on this. I do not know what is wrong.

Thanks,

To pass values, you can use the search property string (the string after the '?'), see link or you can use server side code. Since you are using Javascript, you can try:

src="setTitle.html?title=US"

Then parse the location.string to get the 'US' value and display that on the screen.

Alternatively, you can even try

siteTitle.html?us

and just use the whole query search string.
