Javascript: How to pass variable from one page to another

[icesha]

Hi. I just want to ask how can i pass variable from a page to another using query string. I have to score a specific quiz. Wherein, I have to calculate the score from a page to another. The event that will trigger it is a button. If the answer is correct, add 10 points if not, no point should be added and score should be shown at the last page. here is an example of my code.
please help me. i'm new in using javascript. thanks.

function incorrect()
{
alert("OOPS! Bad Answer! Your Answer is incorrect!!");
window.close("http://localhost/xampp/ECSEL/newecsel/exercisestest.php")
window.open("http://localhost/xampp/ECSEL/newecsel/exercisestest1.php?score=0")

}
function correct()
{
alert("GOOD WORK!! The answer Compound Sentence is correct. ");
alert("This is a compound sentence, because it contains two independent clauses joined by the co-ordinating conjunction AND.");
window.close("http://localhost/xampp/ECSEL/newecsel/exercisestest.php")
window.open("http://localhost/xampp/ECSEL/newecsel/exercisestest1.php?score=10")
}


<%
Response.Write(Request.QueryString)
Response.Write(Request.QueryString("score"))
%>

I'm really confused about how you're doing things.

Your form actions lead to PHP files, but the way your javascript is written, it appears as though you are using ASP/server-side javascript to process parts of it.

Why do you need javascript at all? If you are using PHP to process the form, why not tally the score using PHP? You could do so by using either hidden form fields or by generating and editing cookies.
