Diogenes Painting by Jean Leon Gerome T oday I was in need of a simple solution to get targeted parameters to a HTML page I'm in a platform that only accepts a page as home page HTML. In my case my login page. I needed that if the login had not success, then one message would be passed to this same page be reloaded, reading and showing the message.
