Well any other suggestions would fall outside the scope of prototype
and javascript, you'd want to look into trying to set the target of
the form to be the popup window, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
I know it's a technique used for file uploads ala Ajax - people point
the form at an embedded iframe which does the uploading - but I don't
think you can do this to target a from at a different browser window.
You're going to have to find a completely different popup free way of
doing this if you want communication between the two pages, I fear.
