SkillBuilders Modal Page not opening when click edit link in a Manual Tabul

Question

Hello,
This thread is related to a recent thread I created (Column Link is not working on a Manual Tabular Form I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.27, Oracle DB 10.2.0.5.0.
In summary, I have a collection that retrieves the information from the EMP table, a manual tabular form based on that collection, and a link in the DEPTNO field that branch to another page with a Form based on the DEPT table.
What I want to accomplish is to call the DEPT Form as a modal page that opens from my EMP Page.
What I did so far:
1. DEPT Page uses the popup template and branch to itself.
2. The Link Attribute of the Link Column (DEPTNO) is set to: onclick= *"return false;"*
3. I created a DA using jQuery Selector: *td[headers="LINK"] a*. Action: SkillBuilders Modal Page plug-in. URL Location: Attribute of Triggering Element. Attribute Name: href. Event Scope: live (Dynamic in Apex 4.2).
4. Changed the Application Security to Allow Embed in Frames.
My problem is that when I click the DEPTNO column, is it not opening the Modal Page.
I created an example on apex.oracle.com in case some of you want to look into it:
Workspace: EDIAZJORGE
Username: test
Password: test123
App Name: Sample App
App Number: 12231
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Erick

You were using a wrong jQuery selector. There are no columns with headers "LINK". Evidently, you want the modal to open through clicking the icon in the "DEPTNO" column, so all that is required is to change the selector to
td[headers="DEPTNO"] aYou can always easily test your selectors when you use a tool like Firebug. Simply run the selector in the console, and it'll show you all selected object. In your case, executing $('td[headers="LINK"] a') showed nothing. Dropping "a" still gave nothing. At that point i was pretty sure there were no columns with such a header...
