       var newWin = open('/test/static/src/html/test.htm','test','height=589,width=1004');

}; };

  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
  <title>test</title>
  </head>
  <body>

You can use localStorage or sessionStorage to save information and then pass it to another page.

Below is the link for localStorage and sessionStorage examples: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp

Check this answer for reference: Send value from one page to another

This is what AJAX was invented for. Not to worry, it's actually pretty simple.

The point of AJAX is that (from the first page) you send data to another file, that file does something with the data (e.g. a MySQL lookup, and create a formatted table with the data in it) and returns the result, which your code then displays back on the (first) page.

The best thing about AJAX is that it does all this behind the scenes, and the page does not change or refresh or flash. It looks professional...

Take a look at these examples to see how easy AJAX is.

A simple example

More complicated example

Populate dropdown 2 based on selection in dropdown 1
