I'm assuming you know that the featureselected event doesn't do anything
by itself... If you look at the code in:

 http://docs.openlayers.org/library/overlays.html#displaying-popups

Although it is based around selection/unselection, you can ignore the
'evt', since you have the 'feature', that you need, and just take the
onFeatureSelect code and use it directly...
