I've drafted and posted a template (complete with source code and a live example) for you here: http://jsfiddle.net/MythOfEchelon/Jppsk/4/ (Updated, as per your request by message, so it no longer uses alert() or a submit button).
I've also tidied up your code and validated it as HTML5.
If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me on Twitter: @mythofechelon
