Javascript alert popup form

Question

i have search this whole site and google but cannot find it so, here goes!

i would like a way to show a form when using alert.

for example, when user click post, a dialog pop with asking user a few question like a html form and allow user to click submit or reset or cancel, without loading a new page.

i have seen this done but cannot find the same site again.

i have tried putting htm to alert with little success of posting.

What you are looking for is a Prompt Box:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function show_prompt() {
        var name = prompt('Please enter your name','Poppy');
        if (name != null && name != "") {
            alert(name);
        }
    }
</script>
