Modalpreview
Modalpreview is a lightweight jQuery script that makes it possible to preview the textarea content in a modal window before submitting the form.
Many blog readers prefer to preview their comment before submitting. It is always much easier to check language, spelling and sometimes markup when looking at the text in HTML as if it was already rendered on the site. Modalpreview automatically adds a preview button next to the submit button that brings up a modal window containing the textarea content, without reloading the entire page. It converts line breaks to <br> and removes the <script> tag to prevent hacking. Modalpreview can also strip HTML before rendering the preview.
Features
