[SOLVED] Is it possible to display a link and use onclick() to call anchor_popup()?

[eluser]John_Betong_002[/eluser]
I have dug myself into a deep hole and now trying to climb out by trying to reduce the size of the displayed page

Problem
I have a page that displays a couple of thousand anchor_popup() links each duplicating the following code:

Code:

<?php
  echo anchor_popup('url_001','url_title_001',$atts);
?>

// expands to
<a
  href='java-script:void(0);'
  onclick="window.open('http://mysite.com/popup/url_001.html', '_blank',
  'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=yes,status=no,resizable=yes,screenx=200,screeny=100');"
>
  url_title
</a>

... repeated a couple of thousand times :(

 

[/b]Question[/b]
Is it possible to replace the above code with:

Code:

<a href='#' onclick='fn_call_popup('url_001')'>
  url_title_001
</a>
// should not expand and thus considerably reduce the page size.

 

I have tried writing the javascript function fn_call_popup('url_001.html'); and ran into problems. I would like confirmation that it is possible before further attempts at trying to get it to do what I want it to do.
