Moodal Dialog Box form submit - not passing data

Moodal Dialog Box form submit - not passing data

First off, please excuse me if this is not the correct forum in which to post this question.  If there is a better place, please let me know.

I'm attempting to open a moodal box upon a form submit.  The box opens fine, but the GET data is not there on the other end.  If anyone has any ideas on direction, they would be much appreciated!  Thanks.

My working theory at this point is that the data isn't being passed correctly because of the way I'm calling the 'submit' event.
