A JavaScript popup window is what you need, and Puzgly's Window.Open Code Generator can produce the code for you.

As long as your form supports the get method something like this will work

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>

function submit_form(form) {

q_string = "";
f = form.elements;
for (i=0; i<f.length;i++) {
q_string += f[0].name+"="+ f[0].value+ "&";
}
// Put the path to the CGI here (same as the form action attribute);
urlstring = "/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl?";
urlstring += q_string;
form_win = window.open(urlstring ,'remote','location=yes,width=350,height=525');
return false;

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl" onSubmit="return(submit_form(this))" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text1"><br>
<input type="text" name="text2"></br>
<input type="submit" name="nada" value="go">
</form>
</body>
</html>

All right this should work but it's not how I want to do this.
I don't have my JS book here at home though.

Anyone know how to dynamically create a form object (ala newImg = new Image() ?? I tried form1 = new Form but that didn't work. That method would be preferable to this method of writing to the page.

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>
function formswap(form) {
newWin=window.open('blank.htm','whatever','height=200,width=150');
nw = newWin.document;
nw.write("<form action="+form.action+" method="+form.method+">");
for (i=0;i<form.elements.length; i++) {
fe=form.elements[i];
nw.write("<input type=hidden name="+fe.name+" value="+fe.value+">");
}
nw.write("</form>");
nw.forms[0].submit();
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<body>
<form action="http://www.bitdamaged.com/testpages/yoyo.php" onSubmit="return(formswap(this))" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text1" value="test1"><br>
<input type="text" name="text2" value="test2"></br>
<input type="submit" name="nada" value="go">
</form>
</body>
</html>
</form>
</body>
</html>

You can try this as is the php page on my site will just echo the text1 and text2 values.
