What is the easiest way to open a popup window to send an email?

What is the simplest way to open a pop-开发者_JS百科up window, sending it information from the current page, allow the user to fill out a couple of fields and send an email, and then return to the original window as soon as the email was sent - using Coldfusion?

If you are using ColdFusion 8 or higher then I will suggest you to use CFWINDOW which will be simply div and can load content through ajax or just pre populated div can be convert to cfwindow and use modal version so it will not let user to use main page content. Also on send of email you can close cfwindow using javascript.

If you are using lesser than 8 then same thing can be implement using Fancybox or lightbox as well.

If you want to use native HTML, my best advice is better use modaldialog box. After that, passing parameter from modaldialog box and display at parent page.

I ended up using a simple javascript Window.Open, passing the parameters in the url.

Maybe not the best way, but definitely simple.
