As a page is redirected how can I use a javascript variable in the innerhtml of the page being loaded?

Question

foo() {
    var fooVar=7;
    location.assign("otherPage.php");
    otherPageobject.html=fooVar;
}

You can't. Imagine the security risk if you directed the user to e.g. a banking website and then injected your own HTML into that page. — Geat, Jul 07 '20 at 16:11

The code running on one page can't affect anything on another page, because only one page can be loaded/active at a time. What you can do is send your value to that next page. For example:

location.assign("otherPage.php?fooVar=" + fooVar);

Then in that other page you can get the value from the query string and use it as you see fit.
