You're not passing a function reference, you are executing an inline
function. Execution will happen the moment the parameters passed into
the greybox function are evaluated. It's like passing 1+2 as a
function parameter - the 1+2 will first be evaluated and the result of
this evaluation (3) will be passed to the function. Similarly, you
alert command is being evaluated (you get the alert message), and then
the *result* of that evaluation is passed to the greybox function.
You need to pass a reference to the function, not execute it inline.
Try this:
function testing() { alert("WHEEE!"); }
........
GB_showCenter('Some Title', this.href, 420, 420, testing)
