It's not technically sending the information to the page, but really the pop-up is reading from it's caller using the self.opener method.
Basically, when you click the popup button/link a preset div is looked for in the parent window. If you need a dynamic pop-up, you'll have to figure something out. I gave you a good stepping stone.

Alternatively if it's multiple forms or something... you can do something like this:

function popWindow(wName){
features = 'width=400,height=400,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,copyhistory=no,resizable=no';
pop = window.open('',wName,features);
if(pop.focus){ pop.focus(); }
return true;
}
-->
</script>

<input type="submit" value="Jack">
</form>
</body>
</html>
js_pop.php
<pre><?php
var_dump($_POST);
?></pre>
And display only the form that they hit the button in. That was created for an earlier post on here, but I cant' seem to find it now.... hmm.....
