Help with launching a pop-up message

[Chrisj]

I'm using a php video-sharing site script where you would make a purchase to view a video. The code below is from the html search results page, where a list of thumbnails appears when you search certain keywords.

 

Currently when you select the thumbnail, to view the video, prior to paying, a page pops-up in a pop-up box(inner_purchase.htm page) showing a message. I asked someone (JG) to help me change it to just a pop-up message box to appear, rather than a page popping-up, and he added code below called Custom Message Block, but the inner_purchase page still appears, instead of the Custom Message Block.

 

Can you help me figure out how I can make this so the Custom Message Block appears, rather than the inner_purchase page?

Thanks. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

im sure this question would belong in either one of the php forums or a javascript forum.. either that or I dont know exactly what you are saying

[Adam]

Perhaps narrow down the amount of code, most of it's comments anyway, and you'd get a better response from people.

[Chrisj]

Thanks for your advice.

How can I edit my posting?

[Adam]

Well, that chunk of code probably 90% of it isn't related to the problem. Just show the relevant parts..
