Question

I am not sure how I’d do this but I want to create a function that will allow a link to generate a pop up window. These links I’m guessing would need to be targeted with a special class which can be manually inserted.

For example, <a class="popup" href="http://mysite.com"></a>

I haven’t created a popup in a long time so I am at a loss as to where to begin. Can somebody help me out?

Easiest way is to use JQuery

$('.popup').click(function() { alert('popup!!!'); return false; }

Use a framework like lightbox or JQuery Tools to get a prettier popup.
