The 'i' within the anonymous function assigned to each link's onclick handler is
never resolved to a number since by the time you actually click on the link, the
program has exited the for loop. Try using 'this.style.color' instead [see below].
function doPopups()
{
if ( !document.getElementsByTagName )
return false;
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for ( var i = 0; i < links.length; i++ )
{
if ( links[i].className.match("change") )
{
links[i].onclick =
function()
{
this.style.color = 'red';
return false;
}
}
}
}
