Pass a variable to new page

Question

I am trying to pass a variable from one page, load another and enter that information. something Like this:

When 127.0.0.1/test.html&ID=1234

location.href = "127.0.0.1/newpage.html"

if (location.href == newpage.html){
    var e = document.GetElementById("Loginbx");
    e.Value = ID
}

I don't have access to modify 127.0.0.1/test.html nor newpage.html but would like to pass variables to them from another. Is this possible?

When you change the location using `location.href`, script execution will stop and the new page will be loaded. — Marcel Korpel, Jun 10 '10 at 16:53

You could pass the values on the query string and then read those:

location.href = "http://127.0.0.1/newpage.html?foo=1&bar=2";

Then use location.search to get the query string and parse it with Javascript. Just make sure none of the query string terms collide with any others that may exist.
