Calling a popup from a report

Question

I would like to open a popup window by clicking a value in a report. I am using the following Java Script:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function customerPopup2 (sold_to_org_id) {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:7:::::P7_SOLD_TO_ORG_ID:' +SOLD_TO_ORG_ID;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=700,height=400");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
and my select statement looks like this:
SELECT a, b, c ,
'<a href="javascript:customerPopup2('''
       || sold_to_org_id
       || ''');">'
|| HTF.escape_sc (customer_name)
|| '</a>' sold_to_org_id
FROM table
Everything works. I am able to open the page but the value I want to pass to the item on that page is showing:
[object HTMLTableCellElement]
and not what I would like to see - my "sold_to_org_id".
I was trying to do it differently, by using the column link to pass the value of the #sold_to_org_id# to the element of my popup page. That works but in that case the page doesn't open as popup - it opens in the full screen mode.
What am I missing?

Hi,
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL is PL/SQL function, and you can not use it on URL target.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/apirefs.32/e13369/apex_util.htm#insertedID60
Try following:
Change your report query have one extra column
SELECT ...
APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:11:&SESSION.::NO:11:P11_PERSON_ID:' || PERSON_ID, NULL, 3) AS URL_FOR_JS
FROM...In report attributes set this new URL_FOR_JS column hidden
Then change link column URL target
javascript:popUp2('#URL_FOR_JS#',800,700);Regards,
