Pop Up Message After Form Submits

I have created a form with a submit button at the end which sends the form to my e-mail. How do I create a pop up that shows up after the form has been submitted? (Or better yet, been submitted successfully.) I just want something that essentially says "Thank you, your form has been submitted." Thanks!

In a LiveCycle form there is a post submit event where you could place JavaScript code to display a popup message. But there is no such event in an AcroForm. And no way to tell if the form submit was successful. However, if you use JavaScript to perform the form submit, then you can add a popup message after the submit.

Search for "submit" on this site, filter for tutorials. There is also a tutorial on popup alerts.
