hi, i have a form that i would like to show a preview of what the posted  
data would look like after the user presses the preview button…

basically i would need to call the preview action, render the data to a  
partial, and bam -\> preview complete. is it possible that the preview  
window can be opened in a new window?

also, in order to save the data after the user selects submit from the  
preview box, that data i guess should be saved in a session or  
something?

thanks
