[jQuery] help a newbie....


Hi,
I am a Cold Fusion developer starting playing with jquery and I get
the first problem:
I have a link with class pack and I want to open in a popup using the
href attributes:
My jquery statment is:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a.pack').click(function(){
        var $href = $(this).attr('href');
    
window.open("$href","popup","width=630,height=700,status=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=no,toolbar=no");
        return false;
        });
    });
1) if I alert $href I get the right attributes ( the link ) but I get
a second window open when I close the first one. So I think maybe
there is an iteration that I am not considering.
2) If I use the $href in the open statment I open a pop up win that
contain the page where the event is generated and not the link/page
attributes.
Some suggestion???
Thanks
Andrea
