This module gives Drupal the ability to easily change links into popup dialog boxes.
  There are a couple of ways to use this module.
  
  #1) Add the popup class to an existing link, either in code:
    popups_add_popups();
    $output .= l("Pop up entire local page.", 'popups/test/response', array('attributes' => array('class' => 'popups'))) ."<br />";
  
  or on the theme level:
    <?php popups_add_popups ?>
    <a href="popups/test/response" class="popups">
    
  class="popups" requests an informational popup.
  class="popups-form" requests a popup with a form that modifies the content of the original page.
  
  And you can use the pseudo-attribute, "on-popups-options" to send options, if you don't mind having non-validating HTML.
  The advantage to this attribute, is that it will be removed from user content by the HTML filter.
  ex: print l("Pop with options (width=200px).", 'popups/test/response', 
                 array('attributes' => array('class' => 'popups', 'on-popups-options' => '{width: "200px"}')
  See _popups_test_popups() for more examples.    
  
  #2) You can add a custom module that implements 
  the hook_popups hook, which returns an array of popup rules, keyed by the id 
  of a form, or the url of a page.
  Each rule is an array of options, keyed by a jQuery selector.  No options is
  equivelent to class="popup-form".
  
   Rule Format Example:
   'admin/content/taxonomy' => array( // Act only on the links on this page. 
     'div#tabs-wrapper a:eq(1)',  // No options, so use defaults. Note: Selector must select <a> element(s).
     'table td:nth-child(2) a' => array( 
       'noReload' => true, // Popup will not modify original page.
     ),
   )

 Options:
   noReload: Does the popup NOT modify the original page (Default: false).
   forceReturn: url to force a stop to work flow (only use in conjunction with noReload).
   href: override the href in the a element, or attach an href to a non-link element.
   width: override the width specified in the css.
   targetSelectors: hash of jQuery selectors that define the content to be swapped out.
   titleSelectors: array of jQuery selectors to place the new page title.
   [These last two can only be called from the hook, not the attribute]
   additionalJavascript: Array of JavaScript files that must be included to correctly run the page in the popup. 
   additionalCss: Array of CSS files that must be included to correctly style the page in the popup.
