SharePoint Hosted App Navigation

Question

I have created a SharePoint Hosted App in Visual Studio 2013 and I am struggling to find a way to navigate to a page.

I currently want a button on the default.aspx page that will navigate to another page inside of the SharePoint Hosted App. I can have a button navigate successfully but it doesn't load the entire query string such as the HostWebUrl, AppWebUrl, ClientTag etc...

I have done a bit of research on this and read about using the Chrome Control but I somehow don't think this is what I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could get the QueryString parameters using Javascript and append it to your target page URL on the button click event handler.

Please use below code as a starting point:

function onRedirectButtonclick()
{
    var queryString = window.location.href.split('?')[1];
     window.location.href = "/NextPage.aspx?" + queryString;
}
