URL formula button to open pop-up box to collect data

I'd like to take a URL formula button which creates a new record and bring up a small window to collect a few fields of data which would then be written to the new record. Does anyone have any code ...

M>no problem ... URLRoot()

I think the OP wanted a modal PopUp dialog not the opening of a new page. This example from June 19, 2011 demonstrated how you can create modal dialogs in the style of QuickBase's Popup (click on Test1 and Test2 buttons to demo):

MyPopDivs Not YourPopDivs

Pastie Database
https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bgcwm2m4g?a=dr&rid=7


Note that the code in the pastie and links points to the www subdomain not haversineconsulting as it was created before the great migration to UX2.

Dan, is this method still appropriate to use or is there a better way?  It looks exactly like what I need but when I look at the pastie, I'm unsure of what code to put where in QB. Appreciate your help, Mark
