I'm trying to pass two variables from one page to the next. How would I go about doing this?

Do you really mean variables or parameters? – Inveigh 6/1, 2013 at 6:50

Well, values in variables. I need to pass a string and an integer. – Callipash 6/1, 2013 at 7:39

Put this code in first page:

WinJS.Navigation.navigate("/pages/secondpage.html", yourvalue);

Then in second page to retrive the data use:

ready: function (element, options) {
    //your data yourvalue is inside options parametr 
}

Can I only pass one value? – Callipash 6/1, 2013 at 9:36

By navigation function only one value. But you can pass a object or array. Se the firs link for more information. – Virulent 6/1, 2013 at 9:40

Thank you so much! I finally get it! lol...I was able to pass the variables successfully! – Callipash 6/1, 2013 at 9:53

Just wanted to include an example of passing multiple values as Norbert answered in his comment.

WinJS.Navigation.navigate("/pages/page2/page2.html", {value1:"hello",value2:"world"}
