Memory management in javascript

Question

I am trying to develop an application using javascript and to help organise my code, I am coding using objects. However, I don't really understand how the javascript engine is managing my object.

If in a first HTML page1 where I include a js file, I make an object obj1 when I switch to HTML page2 where I include both the old js script (already included in the first html page ) and the second js file where I want to use that object created in the first javascript file, it's undefined.

Can anyone help me understand how javascript manages objects and how, going from page to page, to get my object ?

As soon as you (re)load a page, all the JS is reset. Just some properties like localStorage are persisted between page calls. — Sirko

When you load a new page (or even reload the current one), everything that was on the page you are leaving is destroyed.

If you want to make an object persistent, consider using localStorage to save the information you need.
