I need some help passing a variable to a popup window. The following form 
collects input from the user and stores it in the variable $summary.

<?
print "<FORM action=\"hint.php\" METHOD=\"post\">";
$summary = "Hellow universe";
print "<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"summary\" value=\"$summary\"> ";
print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Try This\" 
onClick=\"window.open('hint.php', 'remote', 
'menubar,scrollbars,resizable,width=350,height=200,left=20,top=20'); 
return false;\">";
print "</form>";
?>

When you click on the "Try This" button, hint.php opens up in another, 
smaller window just like I wanted. But the variable $summary doesn't show 
up 

<?
//hint.php script says this

//THIS LINE PRINTS
print "Here's the hint:<BR>";
//BUT NOT THIS ONE
print $summary;
?>

If I take JavaScript out of the submit coding, the browser window moves 
to hint.php and prints the $summary variable. 

I'm much more comfortable with PHP than JavaScript. How can I deliver the 
text in $summary to a second, smaller window?

Thank you.
