You'll have to use JavaScript to have a popup. When do you want the PopUp to pop up ? For example - onClick of any element, or clicking a link etc. ? And when do you want to redirect?

Ok... Its pretty simple. I assume that you are aware of the working principles of a <FORM>. In the action attribute of the <form> tag, you specify the path to the script which processes the form. You can print the Thank You part in that script itself or redirect to any other page you wish, using the Print "Location.." header.
As for the popup, you have to include an "onClick" event in the submit button which will call a Javascript function to open a popup. You can specify the url and properties in the function itself.

Its time for me to go home and so if you need assistance with the coding part, other experts might help you for the day.

In the meantime you may want to go through http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html.

Hi Pankaj,
If i understand what you require, then probably there is no way to do it ( at least i don't know of one). Having a popup is a client side affair -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_scripting -- which is triggered only when the user (a client) does something on the page he is dealing with -- such as clicking a link, submitting a form etc. And CGI is totally a server side thing -- http://www.w3.org/CGI/ . What you can do though, is open a page(which you want as popup) in a new window (target="_blank") at the same time when you are redirecting the users to the thank you page. But this is an HTML thing and has nothing to do with CGI or PopUp as you said.
