Open new page and edit its div's via js

Hello, I'm trying to make such a form that you fill in some data, and by submitting the data js will open a new page with the data formatted in a format(template) that I made beforehand. I made a template html that has empty divs that are "waiting" to be filled with the user's data from the form. so far i managed to open the template html file on a new tab, now all left to do is fill in the divs with the user's data from the form. this is my code: // values taken from the form (works well): let store_name = document.getElementById("store-name").value; let store_desc = document.getElementById("store-desc").value; // open new window (work well): let newWindow = window.open('./store_template.html', '_blank'); // load user's data on the template html file (doesn't work!): newWindow.onload = function() { newWindow.document.getElementById("store-name").innerHTML = store_name; newWindow.document.getElementById("store-desc").innerHTML = store_desc; } how can I make it work? thanks.

Passing form data is not usually done like that. It's more common for people to submit form data to a back-end code. But I found these in stackoverflow, which discuss how to read form data using JS in another HTML document. Mind you the examples shown uses form submission, not opening new window. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14693758/passing-form-data-to-another-html-page https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49042651/how-do-i-pass-form-data-from-one-html-page-to-another-html-page-using-only-javas

I use this 👇 HTML <input type="text" id="name"/> JAVASCRIPT function creat(){ var x=document.getElementById("name").value; var a=document.creatElement("p"); a.innerText=x; body.append(a); }
