vB4 onclick in a template
 

I am trying to use onclick to popup a window with some data retrieved form the DB. I already hav eth edata in {vb:raw queuelist.message}

When I put the below code in my template, it displays {vb:raw queuelist.message} on the main page, instead of just inside the popup window. Is there anyway to correct this?

Code:
http://vb.ma7room.com/{vb:stylevar i...}/post_new.gif{vb:raw queuelist.subject}</p>
{vb:raw queuelist.message} usually contains HTML, and I'm thinking this is what is causing the problem.
So I tried it with just text, now the main page displays as expected, but when I click on the link nothing happens.
