Configure form as popup over another...

I've created a membership lookup table - No data entry required - it's just a utility to scroll through member names to find a member's index number.

I've configured it as a popup. When I enter the link in the third party website HTML TinyMCE editor and save it the linked text hyperlink appears as it should. When clicked the form doesn't open in a popup over the original window but instead opens in a new tab if the target is _blank or overwrites the existing window if the target is none. I'm pretty sure some javascript in the original form is what I need but it's beyond my capability.

Here's the form: http://mfabenefit.org/MFAlookup The first "click here" is the form on my web server and the second click here is the form on the CoffeeCup server. (both links open in a new tab or overwrite the existing window instead of a popup window over the third party web page.)

Here's the webpage I'm inserting the link into https://MFA19.givesmart.com - scroll down to the link: Click here to look up a Misericordia Family's MFA Number.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,
I would first fix the errors.
You have a mixture of http and https on a https site. Switch all http references to https and see if that fixes it.
I would also get these taken care of.

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric,
Thanks so much for taking a look. changing http to https in my link didn't change the way the site loads.

Regarding the validator errors, GiveSmart is a proprietary online auction service and I don't have the ability to change their code - I can only enter content in pre-configured sections.

Is there a javascript snippet I can include on the original web builder form that will cause the form to open in a popup over the GiveSmart page?

Thanks again,
Jim Capraro

It looks like your missing the scripts the form builder provides.

and the link to the form needs the class='fb_iframe'
