cant seem to pass var to popup

[Anon]

For some reason I can't pass my form vars by POST or GET to a popup window...
if the form action is to the page that is in the popup it work but if form action=\"javascript:openWin()\" it opens the popup with the page but no php output (but works fine outside of the popup)
Does this sound familar?

How have you tried get and post method to the popup? If Javascript is bringing this up, the page with the script to do this is the place to start, not just sending values to the calling page (if that makes any sense at all). Have you tried using "myscript.php?myvar=myval" as the source of the new screen?

Yes I have for the GET method something like this
function openWin() {
myWin= open("page.php?id=<? echo "$id&page=$page"; ?>","......
tried something along the lines of this to make it a little neater such as
$val = "page.php?id=" . $id . "&page=";
$val .= $page;

Tried POST with hidden form field....
The page works unless it is in the popup.

I think I am just missing something simple...
Still lost....been a few hours since I looked at it, maybe it will make sense now, but would still like to hear ideas.
Thanks,
Jim
