Hi.
Drupal has a great facility for generating forms called the Form API (FAPI). Here a couple links:

http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html/6

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference....

Drupal also comes bundled with the javascript library JQuery. You can use JQuery to display a popup window. You add custom javascript (including extending jQuery) with the Drupal API method drupal_addj_js detailed here: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_js

There is also a good overview of Drupal and javascript here:
http://drupal.org/node/205296

One last suggestion. It's worth downloading and going through the module examples located here:
http://drupal.org/project/examples

Hope that helps, or at least gets you started :) .
