Java pop up to play video

Hey all,
I have been trying to get a script to create a new window when linking to a video I have on my server.

It doesn’t seem to work in wordpress, anyone know why?

This is code I am using
<–
<script type=”text/javascript”>

function openpopup(popurl){
var winpops=window.open(popurl,””,”width=,height=,toolbar,location,status,scrollbars,menubar,resizable”)
}
</script>

Click here to open window
–>
