This is more of a javascript question, but you could try something like this untested code:

in the popup

<form action="#" onSubmit="submit_it(this);"> .... </form> <script language="javascript"> function submit_it(form) { for (var i=0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { opener.forms[0].elements['hidden_'+form.elements[i].name].value = f +orm.elements[i].value; } </script>
and then add hidden fields to the form in your opener named 'hidden_[name_of_field_in_popup]'

ofcourse if you use things like radios, checkboxes or select fields, you need to test for those too.

Take a look at PPKs javascript section for much more information on coding javascript.

An other technique could be to open the popup with the data from the opener in hidden fields... i cannot really say what the best solution would be without more info.
