how can i reference form data from the referring document?
<p>Hi I have a web page that opens up from another page after the user clicks a link. What i want to do using JS is reference the form data from the original page and use it on the page that has just been opened . my first page contains something like </p>

<pre><code> function date_change() {
  window.open("//www.abbeysoft.co.uk/adi/datepicker.php");
 } 
</code></pre>

<p>Then i want to use something like the code below in page two </p>

<pre><code> nam = document.form1.name.value
</code></pre>

<p>is this something I can do easily </p>

<p>Any hints or pointers would be great </p>

<p>thanks </p>
