Special Popup for each join form question

Has any one developed this yet? I want, instead of the traditional join form. A pop up for each question that will fill the join form in background. Is JavaScript the best way to accomplish  it?

Here is an example:

http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_prompt

Once they fill in the name then it prompts for the next field. When it gets to the email field, I would like the email confirmation sent and prompt for a random code that was included in email.

I find that proposed members get easily overwhelmed with a full page of questions. Breaking it down to individual pop ups may take away the anxiety. Also more user friendly.

i would not do it it.

if browser javascript is turned off then you have nothing left.

besides it's not save with js! maybe other people have different opinion tho...

jQuery is heavily used throughout dolphin. So if someone has JavaScript turned off, the site becomes useless anyway, so that would not matter.

So with that said, yes, it can be done with JavaScript. Or rather i would use jQuery. Ajax calls between each question would check that it's valid and also save the info for final account creation.

I do not know of any mods that do it, and doing it would be quite complicated. If you can't, then you will have to hire someone.

Here is the issue, many sites use it or do not ask 12 questions before you can become a member. They may ask you your email and send a link, that you click, then to a user name, password, confirm password, then you are a member. Only dating sites need DOB, whether you are "looking for", relationship status, etc. Now I know I can turn off most if not all the question except Captcha. Issue is that there is no after. Meaning if I want them to input DOB later, there is no options to prompt, same with headline, description, avatar. I would be okay with them becoming member with user name password and email and one human question to later prompt them every 15 minutes to add details to there profile. Until all fields are filled they will continue to receive pop ups to complete. Same with avatar and designing their profile pages.

  This is only the start. Any form that needs to be filled out on the site. Like events, locations, photos, videos, items for sale, etc. are labor intensive with little website assistance. This is a real problem. I watched members trying to fill out the forms. They get about three questions and say " Forget this". Am I the only one experiencing this from a members point of view. I could be.  Question is whats the limit. At what point does the member say, " I am not sharing this because it is just too difficult to input. Take for example: There is a Flea market I think it's the best. I would like to share the location and an event they are having, but the site is asking for location title & description, town, state, country, zipcode, picture, possible video, tags, website, ,contact name, address, telephone number, fax, possible file,possible extra photos, possible other videos. And I have not even started to put in the event. Finish with the event and then share it to the wall and like it on FB, Google Plus and Linkedin or Twitter. WHOA!!!! there went a hour of my day.....never again. I used location as an example, but it goes for everything to some degree. It's all about ease of use.    

   Different sites have different appeal. Example A dating site is giving a promise of meeting people that want a relationship or something like that. That desire makes them fill out as many fields as required. Same with Porn. Sex driven. You could have 101 fields and they still would fill them out. While a site that doesn't have that DRIVING SEX appeal needs to be more selective and make things much easier. So I still would want to pop up something new each question instead of letting members read through the whole list of what is required and not making the commitment to finish. At least then I would get one listing.

All of my connect mods have a feature in them that nags a member once every 24(default) hours to complete their profile.

I believe that there are other modules in the market that are specifically made for that. Esase i think has one that does some form of notification. Two different versions actually i believe.

Thank you solusoft and Deano for your answers. I am just learning programming now. I tend to pick up things quick. I understand that it is a long process that requires constant education, especially with changes and the flood of languages that are out there. It will take sometime before I am able to write the code, but I have time. I figure when that happens, it will convert Dolphin from a good start to a better option.
