Here follows the source code for the javascript pointing to the link:
I have put an asterisk at the start of each line between the </div>s so the 
line wraps do not confuse you.
It is one long line between the starting asterisk and either the next 
asterisk or the next </div>
As you see the void(0) leads to 'on click open...' so it 'should' function 
but doesn't.
