Getting the value of a Label in new page

Hi,

I have a very long HTML code which I cannot understand what's going on. But I need to do a modification: I have a label <label id="current"></label> and the code stores some value in this label (list of words). When the user clicks on a button a new php page opens. In this new page I would like to reach the value of this label. How can do that?

The only way a new page can get that information is if the previous page passes it through GET or POST. This would be through a form, or even hard coded into the URL. Your best option is to pass it through the URL.

Code:

---

http://www.domain.com/page.php?list=one,two,three

---

Alternatively, you could use the PHP page to read the contents of the other and then parse the data. That would be a little bit more code. And, mostly likely a waste of time.

But the problem with labels is that they do not have a "name" attribute therefore I could not use GET and POST. Any suggestions how to use GET or POST to get the value of a label of the previous page?

You misunderstand my point...You will have to refer that information directly yourself.

Oh, sorry for that. But I could not understand what you mean since I am a newbie in html and php. Can you be more specific? Thank you very much

You will have to grab the labels yourself, using JavaScripts getElementById(), and pass that through GET or POST.

Ok: I followed these steps:

1) I have created a hidden input variable with the id = "h1" and name = "hidden" in HTML. And "l1" is the id of the label that I want to get the value in the new page.
2) Then I set a function called "set()" for the a button. So when the button is clicked the function will be called.
3) inside the function I did the following:

Code:

---

document.getElementById("h1").innerHTML = document.getElementById("l1").innerHTML;

---

Then I tried the get the value of hidden variable in the new page using its name ("hidden"). But it does not work?

You cannot use innerHTML for <input> tags because there is no HTML on the inner side. Example of innerHTML...<p> is innerHTML of <div>.

Code:

---

<div><p></p></div>

---

The <input> tag only has properties. You want...

Code:

---

document.getElementById("h1").value...
