while/loop popup issue

[scdawg]

I have a while loop that displays all files associated with a project that display in a table. I want to use a button to open those files in a popup. My problem is that all the buttons (one generates per file), open the same file instead of their respective files, which is the first file displayed. If I do use a simple link (href), I can open the correct file, but it doesn't display in a popup, which is a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use a link or button to open the correct files in a  popup? Below is my code:

 

<?
"<table border='1' cellspace='10'>\n".
"<BR><BR>\n".
"<tr><th align='center' colspan='5'><font size'4'>Stored Documents</font></th></tr>\n".
"<tr><th align=center width='300'>Date Added</th>\n".
"<th align=center width='450'>Document Title</th>\n".
"<th align=center width='450'>File Name</th>\n".
"<th colspan='2'>&nbsp</th>\n".
"</tr>\n";

While(list($date, $filename, $title) =  mysql_fetch_array($resultd)) {

echo
"<tr>\n".
"<td align=center>$date</td>\n".
"<td align=center>$title</td>\n".
"<td align=center><a href='docs/$coid/$filename'>$filename</a></td>\n".
"<td align=center><input type='hidden' value='$filename' name='file_name'></input></td>\n".
"<td align=center><input type='button' value='View Docs' onclick='return docview(); return false'>\n".
"</tr>\n".
}

"</table>\n";
?>

<!-- Document open
var filename = document.getElementById("file_name").value;
var compid = document.getElementById("comp_id").value;

function docview(url) {
newwindow = window.open('/'+'docs/'+compid+ '/' +filename,'DocViewer','width=800,height=600,top=150,left=350,scrollbars=1,status=1');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}
//--> </script>

The first part of your code does nothing, because you don't save it to a variable or print it to screen... o.O

So how do you suggest fixing it??

The same way you go about sending everything else to the client, or saving it in a variable..?
