dataGrid - link - popup window

[popsovy]

I need to create a datagrid where the column headers (not the items) are links. When a user clicks on a link, it brings up a popup window.

I guess the question is how to make the headers to be URLs but without using sorting, then associate client-side javascript to these headers.... or, is there a better way?

Many thanks for your help.

Headers are cells too. In your itemcreated event handler trap for the header
cell and then add a link to the header. It's similar to adding a webding.
You may want to google for webding datagrid sort for a clearer picture. Here
is one approach.
if(e.item.itemtype == listitemtype.header)
{
linkbutton l = e.item.cells[0].controls[0];
link.navigateurl = "<script> goes here to open up a popup
}
