html/css cannot do this but javascript can. I'll transfer this there.

javascript has an alert function that pops up a message when you call it. Maybe something like this:

<form name = "nameform" onSubmit = "sayName()">
    Name: <input type = "text" name = "username">
</form>
 

function sayName()
{
    var name = document.nameform.username.value
    alert("Hello " + name)
}
