Email Form Distribution - Alert Dialogue box

Can anyone advise whether it is possible to have or script a function so that an Alert Box appears when a user clicks a 'Submit' button in a distributed form?

In Windows, when the Submit button is clicked, there is no indication given to the user that the form has been passed to the email client and sent back to the author. On a Mac, the form is attached to the email client for the user to manually send the file - so at least that is some interaction by the user. Surely, it should be easy to add an Alert Box that says "Thank you for sending the form" as part of the submission process. But how?

Thanks.

On your submit button, add an additional action to "Run a Javscript", and enter the following code:

app.alert("Thank you for sending the form.");
