I have an onclick behavior that opens a popup window, however I cannot find a way to make the the text "View Larger" that triggers the behavior to look like a hyperlink, since there is no actual link involved. Can some one help please?


Thanks
 
Why not use a real hyperlink then. You can give the hyperlink the Onclick behavior, and at least that would be semantically correct. Instead of using a static element to produce a pop up, and then trying to alter its behavior. Which will end up being a mess and most likely be unreliable across different browser.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Thanks,

But then if I link to the actual image, the target would have to be set to something so wouldn't a click on the hyperlink bring up the file that is referenced in the pop up ONCLICK as a browser page rather than or in addition to the POPUP actually showing up? I guess I'm asking how would I creatge a Hyperlink ti nowhere?

 
Set the hyperlink's target address to "#"

Code:
<a href="#" Onclick="...">

The "#" is nothing so will stay in the same page, and will execute the Onlick event.
