And the following on the nextpage.html:
<form name="formName"><input type="text" name="textName"></form> <script language="JavaScript"><!-- document.formName.textName.value = location.search.substring(1); //--></script>
Or, alternatively:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write("<form><input type='text' ");
document.write("value='"+location.search.substring(1)+"'><\/form>");
//--></script>As this code passes data in the location object's search property, it does not work offline in Internet Explorer 4.
