Open and pass value to page 2 from page 1 using region button

Question

Good day,
I created 2 pages. I have created a text item called p_employeeid in page 1 and a region button with button action redirect to page 2. When i click the button i can open page 2 but i cannot filter the records that pertains only to p_employeeid. my source for page 2 is select * from test_tbl where employeeid = :p_employeeid.
Help would really be appreciated. thank you.

hi trent,
i created a branch as well. on submit after processing target type page in this application, page 2 and set this item p2_employeeid and value for this item &p1_employeeid. i did not select any in condition type but selected the button i created submit in the when button pressed. the action of my submit button is submit page.
below is the apex url using button only without branches: only the value of p2_employeeid is not included in the url
http://172.16.10.10:8080/apex/f?p=103:2:872957668524402::NO:2:P2_EMPLOYEEID:
this is with branching: no p2_empoyeeid nor the valu
http://172.16.10.10:8080/apex/f?p=103:2:872957668524402::NO:::
i notice that using the branching even p2_employeeid is not submitted whereas in the button ihave th p2_employeeid but no item value.
I have googling and trying out samples but all i see are table columns with the edit icon. I have not seen example with text box with button calling another page. :(
thank you for the assistance, if you can think of any other suggestion i would be willing to try them out.
