I have a form that I would like to make printer friendly in a new popup window. To do this, I would need to pass all form data to the popup. Is there an easy way to do this, like passing the form itself? Any help is greatly appreciated.

How complex of a setup do you want? Also, are you wanting the popup to appear only after the user submits the form?
One of the easiest ways would be for the popup to access the parent window’s form values directly.
Another, more dynamic way, is to send the form data to the server with AJAX, let the server store it in a session, have the JS open the popup window, and have the popup window be populated with data from session by a server-side language.
