How maintain a session variable using the nav bar

Hi everyone, I have one javascript value, how can I pass this value via URL?
Like /page2.html?source=myvalue, so from the home page, I have the value "token_safe" and I would like to send this value to the page2.html, and the link for the page 2 is saved in the folder nav in the default.xml:
To be clearer, this is the default.xml page, with the navigation menu:

 <nav color="#9F000F">
   <view name="default" default="true"/>
     <a href="dj/mynewapp/home/">Home</a>
 <collection label="Menu">
    <!-- Add menu items with <a> links -->
    <a id="file" href="/dj/redirector/mynewapp/pythondemo">File</a>
    <a id="network" href="/dj/mynewapp/network">Network</a>
    <a id="classlink" href="/dj/redirector/mynewapp/new">Classlink</a>
    <a id="throwable" href="/dj/redirector/mynewapp/new">Throwables</a>
    <a id="reflection" href="/dj/redirector/mynewapp/new">Reflection</a>
      </collection>

And I would like have :

File

And my variable is stored in home.html

 variable="something"

And I m looking for doing:

/page2.html?sourceype=variable

Are you trying to embed the javascript in the default.xml file?
