Are you sure you just lowercased the onclick attribute, and not the
function name? The value of an attribute (in this case "return popUp
etc...") doesn't have to be lowercase - only the attribute name does.

If you have lowercased popUp to popup, without changing the associated
JavaScript function, the function won't work because JS is
case-sensitive.

HTH,
