Question

I have one html5 page and I store a variable in some javascript. I store the clicked item from a ul in a variable called "namer".

<script>
    $( document ).ready(function() {
       $( "a" ).click(function( event ) { 
           sessionStorage.setItem("namer", $(this).text());
           window.location="Antibiotics2.php";
       }); 
       event.preventDefault();
    });
</script>

Now when the new window launches I want to access "namer" from the html5 code so that I can name a header after the retrieved value. I want to put the value in the code below where I wrote "namer".

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head> 
    </head>
    <body>
        <div data-role="page" class="div1">            
          <div data-role="header"> 
        <h1>"namer"</h1> 
          </div>
          <div data-role="content">
          </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

I can access it from javascript with the key no problem but can't figure out how to get it from html.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You already using sessionStorage.setItem to set session variable, now use getItem to get value back from session.

  $( document ).ready(function() {
      var namer = sessionStorage.getItem("namer");
      $('h1').text(namer)
  });
