lightwindow passing form variable to action page

link to open lightwindow pop up page.  of course i've all the js required on the top of the page

<a href="form.cfm" params="lightwindow_width=500,lightwindow_height=600" class="lightwindow page-options">Form</a>

here is the form

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post">
<p><label for="fname">First Name</label><input type="text" name="fname" id="fname" class="inputText" /></p>
<p><label for="lname">LastName</label><input type="text" name="lname" id="lname" class="inputText" /></p>
<p><p><a href="hello.cfm" params="lightwindow_form=form1" class="lightwindow_action" rel="submitForm"><button>Submit</button></a> or <a href="#" class="lightwindow_action" style="color: blue;" rel="deactivate">Cancel</a>
 </p>

here is the action page for the form (hello.cfm)

<cfoutput>#form.fname# | #form.lname#</cfoutput>

I do not know if this is out it's supposed to do it or not but the form variables are not passing over to the action page.

thanks
