You can use the target attribute of <form> to POST data to a popup. If you don't need to open the window explicitly using window.open, you can simply use an arbitrary window name as your target and the browser should POST the data to a new window. Whether a new popup opens or not depends on your browser. If you need to explicitly open the popup with window.open, I think you can still target that window with the target attribute once the popup is open.

var win = window.open("placeholder.htm", "mypopup"); // optional step

<form action="doit.jsp" method="post" target="mypopup">
