 function openPopup() {

        var divText = document.getElementById("pass").outerHTML;
        var myWindow = window.open('', '', 'width=500,height=200,top=100');
        var doc = myWindow.document;

        doc.close();
    }

           <a href="#" onclick="openPopup()">Read More</a>

Answer 1

The browser is executing your onClick handler, then continuing with the default behavior — clicking the link, which causes the browser to scroll to the # anchor. (The location bar will also get a # at the end to reflect this.) You want your onClick handler to suppress the click event, so have it return false:

       <a href="#" onclick="openPopup(); return false">Read More</a>
