How to pass values to a static HTML page

Question

I am trying to pass a value to a static HTML page. jQuery finds the value in the table, but how do I pass it to the next page

$('.gobutton').bind('click', function(){
   var value = $(this).closest('tr').find('td')[0].innerHTML        
   var forward = window.location.replace('{% url 'example' %}');
});

I tried using sessionStorage.setItem("user_val",value) but I cant seem to recover it on that view in any way.

$.post('{% url 'example' %}', {"user_val":value}) method doesn't load the html page, but passes the value.

create a form with a hidden input field, populate the hidden input field with your value. Bind click event to form submit and then just read the POST variable.

Sample code? It is not as easy as one button, I have many of them and they extract a value from the table and then submit it – rodling Apr 19 '14 at 16:45
they are dynamically populated, id rather stay way from unique id buttons here – rodling Apr 19 '14 at 16:54
if you create dynamically (e.g. populate from a database) you have already a unique id you could use – Vickel Apr 19 '14 at 17:03

Ended up doing

sessionStorage.setItem("user_val",value);
window.location.replace('{% url 'example' %}');

Then on example page I checked for existence of user_val with sessionStorage.getItem If user_val existed I launched the coded (AJAX) I need. And set user_val to "", cleaning up the memory. If user_val didnt exist it would launch the page like it was previously.
