Stack Overflow Asked by Robert Little on December 5, 2021
I begin with having a user input their name into a text field on the first html page and then click a button to move to a second html page.
How do I store the user’s inputed name as a variable that can be referenced on a differnt html page?
First HTML page
<input type = "text" id = "name">
<button onclick = "sv(); window.location.href = 'second.html'">Submit now</button>
JavaScript on First HTML page
function sv() {
sessionStorage.setItem("theirname", document.getElementById("name").value);
}
Second HTML page
<p id="output"></p>
JavaScript on Second HTML Page
document.getElementById("output").value = sessionStorage.getItem("theirname");
The code below works for me, which isn't much different than yours. Maybe it's how your importing your javascript?
index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src='./index.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type = "text" id = "name">
<button onclick = "sv(); window.location.href = 'secondPage.html'">Submit now</button>
</body>
</html>
index.js
function sv() {
sessionStorage.setItem("theirname", document.getElementById("name").value);
}
secondPage.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="output"></p>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript" src='./secondPage.js'></script>
<!-- The script must come after and not in the head, or else document.getElementById will be null -->
</html>
secondPage.js
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = sessionStorage.getItem("theirname");

Your can store the data into localStorage
let input = document.getElementById('input');
setStorage = () => {
localStorage.setItem('name', input.value);
}
//On your second HTML
getStorage = () => {
localStorage.getItem('name');
}<input type="text" id="input">
<button onclick="setStorage()">Go!</button>Answered by sonEtLumiere on December 5, 2021
