Value of html from jquery get

I want to retrieve the value of a text field on a another page on my website (prices.html)

Using http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/, how can I accomplish this?

How can I do this?

var price = $('input:price').val(); <- the value of price from prices.html (i'm not on this page so i need to request it)

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

You could try .load().

.load('price.html input[name="price"]', function(data) {
    alert(data);
});

I didn't try it out myself, but it should work.

Before you live prices.html page, will be good to store/transfer (post/get) input:price in hidden textfield in new page and than read hidden textfield with jquery

One of the last examples on the jQuery get page provides you a clue:

$.get("test.cgi", { name: "John", time: "2pm" },
   function(data){
     alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
   });

Assuming that you get your page correctly, you should get a data payload, which you can then parse to get the price information that you're looking for. Using another example, if you have your data processed as JSON, you can extract data like so:

$.get("test.php",
   function(data){
     $('body').append( "Name: " + data.name ) // John
              .append( "Time: " + data.time ); //  2pm
   }, "json");

Without more information, it'll be hard to put together a working example.
