For a web app, I need to create a pop-up window which displays some results of a query which will execute server-side in the asp page to be displayed in the window. The query requires a variable parameter which comes from the calling page.

What approach is best for creating this pop-up window ?

I am trying to use showModalDialog with a variable parameter, but the parameter is not received by the asp page opened in the window. I have used the showModalDialog method with a literal parameter successfully in a similar case, but not with the variable name, even when forced to be received 'byVal' in the VBScript function which calls showModalDialog ( that calling function is called from a button 'onClick' event which passes a value from a form field ).

I also started trying to use the popup object but do not see how to pass the parameter so the asp code can use it as the window is opened with the asp page.
