Try this:
Place the following on the onclick event of <a> tag: onclick="window.open('<?=base_url();?>regform_control/mymethod','mywindow','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');"
in the view page
and in the controller regform_control you have the function somewhat like
function mymethod(){

$this->load->view("popup.html");
}
popup.html is the page that opens in the pop-up

Hi,

I didn't understand what you meant,.. I think you was asking how to make a popup or where to put it?

Let's say you have a view called layout.php which will hold all your nav-menu links

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

....

&lt;!-- your main nav --&gt;

&lt;?php

$atts = array(

    'width'      => '800',

    'height'     => '600',

    'scrollbars' => 'yes',

    'status'     => 'yes',

    'resizable'  => 'yes',

    'screenx'    => '0',

    'screeny'    => '0'

);

echo anchor_popup('regform_control/mymethod', 'RegForm', $atts);

?&gt;

....

&lt;/html&gt;

and your controller
application/controllers/regform_control.php

Code:
class Regform_control extends CI_Controller

{

    public function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }

    public function mymethod()

    {

        // your validation rules

        // and show the registration form view

        $this->load->view('reg_form');

    }

}

and your registration form view
application/views/reg_form.php
should be a normal form..

so the popup link has nothing to do with the reg. form... Since it is only a link to a page that shows nothing but the form.

good-luck
