How can I pass parameters to a local page in PhoneGap app?

Question

In a PhoneGap app, we can setup the starting page using the following code.

self.viewController.wwwFolderName = @\"www\";
self.viewController.startPage = @\"

In phonegap apps, you cannot call local pages by passing parameters to them because the system searches for files with exactly the same name as you pass. It doesn't treat the parameters as query string.

Ex: when you say "index.html?param=abc", instead of calling page index.html with a
parameter called param having value abc. It calls the page "index.html?param=abc"
which doesn't exist in the system. Hence, the error.

The best method to solve the issue is to save your parameters as local storages in the calling page, consume them in your next page and destroy them.

Ex: In your calling JavaScript file, use:
window.localStorage.setItem('param', 'abc');

Now, in your called file, access the local storage and delete it
param abc = window.localStorage.getItem('param');

window.localStorage.removeItem('param');

Hope that helps.
