[OpenLayers-Users] Difficulty setting up an event on a popup.

[Damon Muma]

I want to call a javascript function when a feature's popup is clicked.
Tried hardcoding it because I couldn't make much out of the API
documentation on events, but the map was capturing the clicks and I
couldn't get around it (it worked but only after a second click_. So now
I'm trying to do it via events.register.

Here is what I have:

var vector = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Points",{
    eventListeners:{
        'featureselected':function(evt){
            var feature = evt.feature;
            popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.Anchored("popup",

 OpenLayers.LonLat.fromString(feature.geometry.toShortString()),
                new OpenLayers.Size(275,71),
                '<div id="pincontent" onclick=""><h3>' +
feature.attributes.title +'</h3><div style="display: none;"
id="pindescription">'+  feature.attributes.content +'</div></div>',
                null,
                false
            );
            popup.imageSrc = 'img/popup.png';
            popup.autoSize = false;
            popup.backgroundColor = 'transparent';
            var offset = {'size':new OpenLayers.Size(0,0),'offset':new
OpenLayers.Pixel(-74,-10)};
            popup.anchor = offset;
            popup.panMapIfOutOfView = true;
            popup.imageSize = new OpenLayers.Size(275,71);
            popup.relativePosition = "br";
            popup.calculateRelativePosition = function () {
                 return 'tr';
            };
            feature.popup = popup;
            map.addPopup(popup);
            var popcontent = document.getElementById('pincontent');
            map.events.register('mousedown', popcontent,
function(evt){alert('help')}, false);
        },
        'featureunselected':function(evt){
            var feature = evt.feature;
            map.removePopup(feature.popup);
            feature.popup.destroy();
            feature.popup = null;
        }

    }
});
vector.addFeatures(features);


// create the select feature control
var selector = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(vector,{
    click:true,
    autoActivate:true
});
 map.addLayers([osm, vector]);

event.register in a few different places with no luck.. I feel like inside
featureselected makes sense because elsewhere the popup will not actually
exist. Any advice on getting this to work would be amazing
