Submit Form to Popup - Not Seeing Variables

I have been googling for about an hour and half and can't seem to find the
answer to this one - though I know it is a pretty common thing...

I have a form in my main page called Join - when the user clicks the Join
( submit ) button, the email field should be validated ( this part works
like a champ ) and then a new popup window ( need to use popup instead of
_blank target to control window size ) should open. The new popup window
simply makes a "Request" call to get the value from the email field and then
does some processing.

The validation works like a champ AND the popup window opens... but I am not
retrieving any values when I issue a Request against any of the form's
contents. Here is some snips of my code ( I left out the validation
tuff ).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

function pop()
{
var newWin;
newWin
=window.open("joinConfirm.asp","joinConfirm",'resizable=no,scrollbars=no,wid
th=550,height=148,toolbar=no')
}
//-->
</script>

<form action="#" method="post" name="Join" target="newWin" onSubmit='pop()'>
Enter your email address and click Submit. You will then be notified of
site updates
and related news.
<input name="email" type="text"><br>
<input name="Join" type="submit"
onClick="MM_validateForm('email','','RisEmail');return
document.MM_returnValue" value="Join">
</form>

Have you tried using GET rather than POST for your form and then retrieving
the values from the Querystring?
