There are a lot of solutions for this kind of stuff. I would do it in the theme layer to have something really light. You can also use the variety of popup modules for this. One simple way to do this, use the Lightbox2 module, checkout this documentation page: http://drupal.org/node/252260

  • What form? Is it a node/add form? another Drupal form? or a custom form?

  • It is a custom form that I have written in Drupal page. If it passes all the validations it should save the data and close the modal window.

  • You could also use the forms API to do the form: thedrupalblog.com/…

Use the Colorbox Node module:

Gives the user the ability to display ANY page inside a colorbox modal without the header and footer. Those pages include:

This is an apt module for pop up a node.

The best way is actually this module:

The only think you need to do is adapting the path and you're done!

  • Ok... I love the Node Overlay option except that it requires you give users permissions on your administration settings... not. cool. Does anyone know if this module will be getting updated?

Using colorbox node module to open node content inside the Colorbox.

Install both module and enable it from modules list. after You should create link either manually or using views or whatever the way you want. e.g.
