An indexable popup… it’s possible!

The use of popups is very wide-spread, but most of the time they are not indexable. Nevertheless, there is a very simple way to conceive popups which can be crawled by the robots of search engines.
Demonstration
Insert the url of the popup in the href tag and insert the function which opens the popup in the onclick tag followed by the return false; command as in the following example:
<a href=”example.html” onclick=”openPopup(this.href);return false;”>popup example</a>
Explanations
This way allows the robots to follow the link in the href tag while opening the link in a popup with the openPopup() function which gets back the content of the href tag.
