Open popup window and passing parameter to the popup

Question

Hi, I want to open a popup whenever a button is pressed (the page number is 10)
my first attempt was to make a process which have a button condition (after submit)
BEGIN
htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
htp.p('javascript:popupURL(
"f?p=&APP_ID:12:&APP_SESSION.::NO::P12_PERSON::PERSON_ID")');
htp.p('</script>');
END;
I want to pass the value
from
page 10 item :PERSON_ID (initial page)
to
page 12 item :P12_PERSON (this is the popup page)
I also made a branch for the button which redirect to page 10, since no button can be left without any branch or redirect.
the problem is, I dont see any popup was opened. Is there something wrong on my syntax?
thanks for your attention, I appreciate any suggestion

Thanks many many thanks for your help Varad, I'm still having problem with the JS though
About the popupname I found another function on apex js documentation, the function name is popUpNamed(url,name). Now I don't have any problem with the date picker anymore.
My JS look like this now
<script type = "text/javascript">
function buildURL()
var pg = $x('P10_SHOWROLLELIST').value;
var prsn_id = 'P'+ pg + '_PERSON';
popUpNamed('f?p=&APP_ID.:' + pg + ':&APP_SESSION.::NO::' + prsn_id + ':&PERSON_ID.', 'Rolle' );
</script>
but still it seems like this line" var pg = $x('P10_SHOWROLLELIST').value;" still produce an error on my side. I tried to change pg into a fix value for eg: '12' and it works.
P10_SHOWROLLELIST is a select list which return a value
this is the query of the select list
SELECT 'Mitarbeiter' AS D, '12' as R
FROM persrollemitarbeiter
WHERE person = :PERSON_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Student' AS D, '13' as R
FROM persrollestudent
WHERE person = :PERSON_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Mentor' AS D, '14' as R
FROM persrollementor     
WHERE person = :PERSON_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Korrektor' AS D, '15' as R
FROM persrollekorrektor
WHERE person = :PERSON_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tutor' AS D, '16' as R
FROM persrolletutor
WHERE person = :PERSON_ID
