If as I suspect it proves impossible to eliminate browser features after 
the window has already been opened, I can suggest ways of getting form data 
to your child window without passing it all on the querystring.

A client-side solution would be for the parent window to write the data to 
the user's cookie and for the child window to read.

A server-side solution would be to add a minimal key to the child window's 
URL (such as http://something.asp?id=12345) requesting form data stored on 
the server; the server-side script would compose the html for the child 
window with the appropriate input field values pre-set.
