I have a plugin I’m using that creates a pop-up when clicking on specified text to display terms and conditions. The way it works normally is I just include the shortcode in my page where i want it to display eg. [AnythingPopup id="2"] This results in the relevant text being displayed (as specified in the popup plugin settings) that when clicked launches the custom popup. If you’re not sure what I mean and want to see a demo of how the plugin works go to http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2012/05/25/wordpress-popup-plugin-anything-popup/
What I’m trying to achieve is to use this shortcode in an option line for a checkbox so that it looks something like [Checkbox] I agree with the terms and conditions (when terms and conditions is clicked the popup launches – the words terms and conditions would he the words defined in the plugin settings that would normally be displayed by putting the shortcode in the relevant place on the page/post).

Take a look at this thread: http://formidablepro.com/help-desk/checkbox-with-terms-and-conditions-link-to-existing-page/
When you follow these instructions and insert the shortcode instead of the URL, does that work?
if not, it should work to use a plugin like pretyPhoto Media to open the terms in a popup. Then your Link that you use in the instructions linked to above would contain rel=prettyPhoto per that plugin's documentation.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply however the solution in the thread you referred to isn't our preferred solution as it directs the user away from the form rather than being a popup over the top of the form.
I will take a look at pretyPhoto to see if that may do what what I'm looking for and let you know either way.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I've installed the prettyPhoto plugin and that has solved it for me.
Many thanks.
