Using properties from two different pages in a single JavaScript file.

I want to use input value from an input element of one page and use that value as a textContent for a paragraph on another page.

For example, I have an input field (input-1) on one page and a button (button-1) on the same page. Now, I want to add a click event to button-1 so that input-1.value is stored as a textContent for a paragraph (say, pargraph-1) which is on a different webpage.

Thank you.

Tabish, I am really curious about how you handle this. All I can think if (from a new learner's stand point) is maybe your looking for info on local storage?
