Newbie here - passing variables to another html page

Hi

I am extremely new so please bear with me. I am creating a website to sell some of my record collection and got most of it done. I have a main page listing Artist, Title etc and you pick an icon which opens a new window with more info. I have created a hyperlink on the price and that opens another page which contains free code taken from XE.COM. That is OK aswell but I want to be able to pass the value of the price hyperlink to the XE page and have the "convert from" price automatically filled in. The code I have at the moment is taken from http://www.codeave.com/javascript/code.asp?u_log=7057

Price : <b><a href="javascript:variable_in_link('8.99')" onClick="javascript:newWindow('../xe.htm', '880451',''); return false; varible_value;"> 8.99 </a></o:p></b></span></td>

I have tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ian

well in the example on the link u supplied -...it doesnt speak of passing variables... it just speaks of using variables in creating a link...
i can help u with what u wish to do...but first i need to know...are u using any server side scripting or this has to be entirely javascript?
