I don't want to redirect to a new page but e.g just an alert ot a jquery pop message to load. Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

PreSaveAction should work for you, something along the lines of this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function PreSaveAction() {
 alert('Thank you for the submission');
 return true;
} 
</script>

Answer 2

try the Notify object

var  notifyId = null;
function Notify(msg, sec) {
  notifyId = SP.UI.Notify.addNotification(msg, true);

  setTimeout(function () {
    SP.UI.Notify.removeNotification(notifyId);
    notifyId = '';
  }, (sec == null ? 1500 : sec));
}
