Add page in pop up on view page

Hello,
Is it possible to add a button on the view page lets say I add this button
<SPAN class=runner-btnframe><SPAN class=runner-btnleft></SPAN><SPAN class=runner-btnright></SPAN><A class=runner-button href="#">Add Task</A> </SPAN>
and then call a pop up window with the add page of a table?
I checked this link http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/how_to_control_inline_add_edit_functionality_from_script.htm
this is all it says about adding an add page in pop up.. where do I place that code, this didn't work for me is it possible? thanks..

7. Open Add page in popup:
$("#addButton"+pageid).click();
