Hi I am new to javascript. I have found jquery very handy. So I used it to display a popup on a page for one link. The popup is opening fine with that link. But when I am trying to open same popup with other links then its not opening in IE 6 7 8. I used property 'this' to achieve on multiple links. I have used Below is my code:

CSS

#box {width: 100px; height:100px; background: red; position: absolute; top:0px; right:0px; display:none;}

javascript

$(function(){

$("#clickme",this).click(function(){

    $("#box").show();   

});

$("#close").click(function(){

    $("#box").hide();   

});

});

html

<a href="#" id="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#" id="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>
close

Avoid using same ID for different elements on one page. With your html code

<a href="#" id="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="#" id="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>

jquery returns only first element in collection. Use class name instead of id and when all will work properly:

<a href="#" class="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="#" class="clickme">CLICKa MEa</a>

and then 

$( function() {
    $( ".clickme" ).click (function() {
        $( "#box" ).show();   
    });

    $( "#close" ).click( function() {
        $( "#box" ).hide();   
    });
});
