popup

i have a contact page that let people type in question and comment and a submit button to submit the comment. is therea way in javascript to have a popup that loop through all of the fields and display whatever fields have values in that popup. and inside the popup has a continue or cancel button? if they hit continue, submit the form, if they hit cancel return false on the page? thank you.

You can use Javascript confirm box. For instance you can use it like:-

var abc = confirm('the Contact values are ' + kkr + ' .do u wish to continue');
if (abc==true){
//Do something
} else {
//Do something
}

i know about confirm button, but this doesn't display html, and the button are ok or cancel, not yes or no.

your isn't a form and my is a form so when i click on it it display for a few second and goes away. so i changed my submit button to just a regular button and do form submit later. i hope this is ok. what do you think? on another question how do i make the popup stay center all the time? thanks

You need to wait for confirmation from the user before you submit, so, yes, you want to use a regular button and submit after validating and cleaning the user input. Never trust user input. It could contain malicious code. In your button onclick attribute write onclick="return validateInput(); return false;". Create some javascript code to validate the input, then return true if valid, false if not to prevent submit.

Centering the popup in a container will depend on your situation, but generally you adjust the css to set the margins to "auto" for the container you want to center the popup in.
