Ian:
Granted my thinking at the moment is a bit fuzzy -- I may not need,
or want window.parent, but from what I've read, it looked like a
possibility. So, let me back up and see if there is another way.
There are several ways that I can pass variables between pages in
php, such as to use sessions or cookies, but those are required
because the operations are server-side and thus stateless.
I know that I can pass variables back and forth between js and php,
but those are problematic and require the user to do something, I
don't want the hassle.
What I want is a way for javascript (client-side) to pass variables
from one web page to another. It seems to me that a client-side
operation should be able to provide for this.
For example, if I declare var a=1; in the index page (init on load),
then how can I find out what it's value is in the contact page? Or is
my thinking here too fuzzy?
