Gary,
you can work with Javascript, where you can address the Parent window as
"opener":
<BUTTON OCLICK="myfunc(this.form)">
function myfunc(f) {
for (var i = 0; i < f.elements.length; i++) {
// do some stuff with the form fields. Build some url string with
them, if you wish.
}
opener.location.href = ... + myquerystring;
}
You can work with f.action = opener, i think, but I never tried it myself.
Should work too, though.
