javascript - Updating <div> text with value from the previous page

Question

I'm redirecting the user from another page when they click the "Edit" button using the code below.

$('#editListButton').click(function(){ 
    window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php";  //redirect

   // Changes that need to be made
   $('#defaultText').remove();
   $('#orderList').append('<p' + 'message'  + '</p>');
}); 

The page redirects to the predefined link, after which I need update a html <div> tag with text. But the code coming from the other page does nothing. How can change the text in the div tag?

Answer 1

Pass it in the url.

$('#editListButton').click(function(){ 
   window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php?message";  //redirect
}); 

Then on the other page

var url = window.location.href.split('?');
var msg = url[1];

$('#defaultText').remove();
$('#orderList').append('<p>' + msg  + '</p>');
