Without state management?
What do you mean by that?
and why you want to do that?

Have a look at this link-

I think the question is clear enough and reasonable, especially when a universal approach is desired. It really makes sense.
Please see Solution 1.

You should try and get your head around the way websites etc work, it will help you greatly in general. Unlike windows forms, a "page" only exists when it is being rendered. After that it is gone, it no longer exists. So you can't access previous pages in the "current page" as they no longer exist. You need to look into various state management techniques that will let you keep old values in a way that works with what you're doing. Examples are putting data in hidden form fields, keeping it in the Session server-side, keeping it in cookies, keeping it in the Cache etc, they all have pros and cons.

This is one of the possible approaches, perhaps the most universal one, because it does not depend on the server-side technology and will work even if you don't use any: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/sessionStorage[^].

For more general case, when you need to store the whole data structure, not just one string, at a single key, you can use serialization using JSON. I demonstrated a complete code sample in this section of my article: JavaScript Calculator, 7. Dynamic Strict Mode Switching and Web Storage.
