So if I get it right, on click of a button, you want to open up a modal that lists the values entered by the users followed by submitting it.
For this, you first change your input type="submit" to input type="button" and add data-toggle="modal" data-target="#confirm-submit" so that the modal gets triggered when you click on it:
Next, the modal dialog:
Lastly, a little bit of jQuery:
$('#submitBtn').click(function() {
/* when the button in the form, display the entered values in the modal */
$('#lname').text($('#lastname').val());
$('#fname').text($('#firstname').val());
});
$('#submit').click(function(){
/* when the submit button in the modal is clicked, submit the form */
alert('submitting');
$('#formfield').submit();
});
You haven't specified what the function validateForm() does, but based on this you should restrict your form from being submitted. Or you can run that function on the form's button #submitBtn click and then load the modal after the validations have been checked.
