Hello,

I need to develop a contact form that will bring up a pop-up message saying "Thank you, we'll get back to you soon" when the form is submitted.

How do i do this with php?

I'm done with the html and php, all that remains is the pop-up thank you message. I don't know what to do or how to go about this.

I kindly need some assistance.

Thank you.

This may sound like a silly question, but do you really need a pop-up?
Why not just direct to a "Thank you" page - it's more in keeping with "normal" website behaviors, and a lot less intrusive to the user.

The problem is that when you bring up a pop-up, the user has to click on it before they can do anything else - which is a PITA most of the time. It is really necessary that the user acknowledge that you thanked them?

Use a page instead - it doesn't "block" the browser from continuing with other things...

Pop-up windows are easy but generally bad. Many users could use some browsers features/plug-ins to block pop-ups; and they do it for a good reason, due to abuse of pop-ups by advertisers. Besides, as creation of a new browser windows touches some browser-specific features (the choice between a tab and a separate top-level window is one of them), you would have somewhat limited control.

I would rather advise jQuery dialog, which only mimics the behavior of a pop-up dialog on a single page, but does not actually create any popups: http://jqueryui.com/dialog/[^].

First of all, see how the demo works.

There are many variations of this technique and design. Please see also:
