Two ways to do this:
1) Client-side: JavaScript PopUp window with JavaScript programming to
perform/approximate whatever formatting the CF program will perform
when it displays the page from the db
2) Server-side: JavaScript PopUp window which invokes same CF Template which
formats the data from the db, except it formats data from the form
submission.
The former is more interactive, and works well if little or no
additional formatting is performed on the data in the text area (add
a bold heading, etc).
The later is better if the ultimate presentation involves extensive
formatting of the data before presentation, which would be difficult
to approximate in JavaScript.
