    javascript variables persisting across a reload?

    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to set a variable in javascript and
    have that persist so that it can be picked up by the next page in the
    window?

    In this case I will actually navigate to the page myself by setting
    document.URL. I am happy to do this in a different way but I don't want to
    pop up a sub window. I want to pass some javascript stuff into the next page
    without having to serialize it all and post it to the server.

    Andy

      You would need to redesign your web page to use a frameset, then you can
      store variables in
      top.varName
      and they are persisted as long as only the frame with your content is
      changed.

          thanks

          I think I will do something similar to your suggestion but use window.opener
          instead since my window has a 'parent'
