Passing data from calling page to popup window

Question

Hi All,
We are developing a BSP application for business card.I need to provide a preview button .
when the user clicks this button a
poopup window should open with the preview of business card.
My problem is how to pass the values like name , designation etc from the main page to popup window.
The code for previre image:
<h t m l b : i m a g e   s r c = " s _ b _ d e  tl . g i f  " a l t = " P r e v i e w   C a r d "  o n C l i c k="addr" on C l i e n t C l i c k = " c a l l W i n d o w ( ) ; "/>
<s c r i p  t t y p e = " t e x t / j a v a s c r i p t ">
f u n c t i o n  c a l l W i n d o w ()
w i n d o w .o p e n ( " p r e v i e w . h t m " ) ;
</s c r i p t >
preview.htm is a simple HTML page . i need to pass values from main page to this page.
OR
Is it possibel to restrict the size of a VIEW to use it as a popup window?
OR
is there any other way to achieve this like.. the <bsp:call comp_id=" " />
tag , but i have no idea how to use it.
Thanks,
Anubhav.

Hi Raja,
I did as suggested by you...but it is behaving strangely.
It works fine in debuging mode but when executed directly ....it is not working.
the scenario is:
Thers an image for preview as follows:
<htmlb:gridLayoutCell columnIndex="3" rowIndex="13">
<htmlb:i m a g e   s r c = " s _ b _ d e t l . g i f "   a l t = " P r e v i e w   C a r d "   o n C l i c k = " a d d r "   o n C l i e n t C l i c k = " c a l l W i n d o w ( ) ; " /  >
</htmlb:gridLayoutCell>
The JS code is:
f u n c t i o n   c a l l W i n d o w ( )
<%
data: title(5),
         fname(20),
         lname(20),
         comp(20),
         addr(20),
         city(20),
         state(20),
         pcode(20),
         country(20),
         phone(20),
         fax(20),
         email(241).
         alt_addr-title = request->get_form_field( 'title' ) .
         alt_addr-firstname = request->get_form_field( 'fname' ) .
         alt_addr-lastname = request->get_form_field( 'lname' ) .
         company = request->get_form_field( 'comp' ) .
         alt_addr-street = request->get_form_field( 'addr' ) .
         alt_addr-city = request->get_form_field( 'city' ) .
         alt_addr-region = request->get_form_field( 'state' ) .
         alt_addr-inhouse_ml = request->get_form_field( 'pcode' ) .
         alt_addr-country = request->get_form_field( 'country' ) .
         alt_addr-tel1_numbr = request->get_form_field( 'phone' ) .
         alt_addr-fax_number = request->get_form_field( 'fax' ) .
         alt_addr-e_mail = request->get_form_field( 'email' ) .
CALL METHOD cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>set_server_cookie
          EXPORTING
            name                  = 'FORMFIELDS'
            application_name      = runtime->application_name
            application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
            username              = sy-uname
            session_id            = runtime->session_id
            data_value            = alt_addr
            data_name             = 'alt_addr'
            expiry_date_rel       = 1.
%>
w i n d o w . o p e n ( " . . / z _ b i z c a r d / p r e v i e w . h t m " ,   " W i n E " ,   " w i d t h = 2 4 0 , h e i g h t = 3 0 0 , t o o l b a r = n o , r e s i z a b l e = no ")
I was doing something similar...created a controller and a view , was calling the controller from window.open method with all other parameters for sizing etc.
How to pass a structure conatining data,from controller to the view...
Now in the onCreate event of the page PREVIEW.HTM in using;
CALL METHOD cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>get_server_cookie
  EXPORTING
    name                  = 'FORMFIELDS'
    application_name      = runtime->application_name
    application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
    username              = sy-uname
    session_id            = runtime->session_id
    data_name             = 'alt_addr'
  CHANGING
    data_value            = alt_addr.
and in the layout of PREVIEW.HTM in am using this alt-addr:
But if put a break point at the onCreate event of preview.htm and the execute i get the values in alt_addr but if i execute directly...it is empty in the layout?
What is the problem?
Thanks,
Anubhav.
