You can do that by using the "Dialog" tool.

thanks again. I tried using the "dialog" but I could not get the simple contact form to work inside of it. I will give the "layer" feature a try.

The form option of a dialog works exactly the same as a standard form.

Pablo is correct. I think you may not have configured the form properly or it should work just fine. Even we did those, so you can be confirmed. Try and recheck all the settings. Or please submit a demo so we can see and understand what you have done.

You cannot preview forms locally this is due to the fact they use php so to be able to view you must publish to your host/server.

The form will not function or process the dialog popup unless you publish the files on a webserver or localhost. Also be sure to follow all the instruction regarding how to connect the popup with the success page.
