Hello All,

New to the world of jQuery, and JavaScript in general.

How do I "pass" (POST/GET??) a jQuery selection set from one page to another?

Specifically, I'm talking about passing an XML node, but the process would be the same for passing a <div> tag and its contents, right?
On the first page, I use jQuery to parse an XML file, then when the user clicks a link, I want to pass a reference to a child XML node (depending on which link they click) to the 2nd page.
Then, the 2nd page will have some jQuery that will parse the child node.

I think a (probably too simplified) example would be:

page1.html:

1. <script>
2. var someChildNode = $(xml).children().children();
3. function clickIt(){
4.     // Open page2.html
   
5.     // Pass the var someChildNode to it <-- Don't know how to do this!
   
6. }
7. </script>
8. <a href="page2.html" onClick="clickIt()">Some Link</a>

page2.html:

1. <script>
2. var page2Data = someChildNodeFromPage1.html; <-- Don't know how to do this!
3. // Do stuff with page2Data!
4. </script>
