Can I use a value from one template in another template?

Hello,

From a template/page I can create a new contentobject.
I'm able to do this with the following code:

<form method="post" action="/ezpublish/index.php/demo/content/action/">
<input type="hidden" name="NodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" />
<input type="hidden" name="ClassID" value="29" />
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectID" value="{$content_object.id}" />
<input class="button" type="submit" name="NewButton" value="Submit" />
</form>

I have created a file called 'edit_class_29.tpl' with the correct code and this all works fine.

But I have a question;

On the page with the submit button (see the form-code above) I have a value that I would like to use in the edit-template 'edit_class_29.tpl'.

I have tried to create a hidden field which is also being submitted:
<input type="hidden" name="Testvalue" value="1234" />

But unfortunately I cannot use this value in my edit-template. {$Testvalue} results in: Unknown template variable ' Testvalue ' in namespace ''

I&#8217;ve tried to create a cookie with JavaScript containing the value. But when I use this solution I loose my Session-ID.

Can somebody tell me how I can get a value from one template to another?

Thanks,

Vivienne, thank you very much for your help.

Your solution does answer my question, but unfortunately I can't use it.
In my case the second template is opened after clicking on the 'form submit button'.

That's also the reason why I tried to pass my value trough a hidden form field.

Can you (or someone else) tell me if this is possible?

Thanks,
