Hi,

You would need to change:
<a href="javascript: popup()">Open Window</a>

To:
<a href="javascript: popup()"><img src="IMAGE FILE" alt=""></a>

I'd recommend a slight variation to make it a little more accessible:<a href = "nameofpopuppage.htm" target = "_blank" onclick = "popup(); return false"><img src = "..." /></a>That way a user without JavaScript can still access the content.
