The function you call, must be defined in the same document as the form. When you open a 
new window, you create a new document with no functions defined.

1. One solution is to open the new window, create the function using the write command 
and then write the form.

2. An easier way could be to open a new window and then open an HTML document (with the 
function,the form and everything else included), by using window.[frame].location="href".
