4 ways:
look at the url of the second page. The GET data is encoded there.
have the form processing script on the server do it. (ie, use PHP or ASP, not
JavaScript)
Save the data in a cookie
Have the pages wrapped in a frameset with only one frame, and store the data
objects in the parent frameset. (not recommended).
