Marquee II scroller help

Script: Marquee II scroller
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee2.htm

I'm using the marquee scroller II, but slightly modified to pause on mouseover. (as found on these forums)

However, what i'd like to do, instead of these links just opening up in a new window, I'd like to open the links in a new window AND redirect the original window to a new place. The code i've used is posted below. Can anyone help me out to do this?

This is in the <body>

Code:

Thanks for any help you can give me.

For something like that you would probably be better off with this new script 'hot off the presses':

http://home.comcast.net/~jscheuer1/s...ical_slide.htm

The second slider is probably like what you would want to do. The advantage with this script for you purposes is that the contents of the slider are ordinary HTML. This means that you could use something like so for a linked image:

HTML Code:

<a href="some.htm" onclick="window.open('someother.htm');return true;"><img src="some.jpg" border="0"></a>

Use your browser's view source to get the code. Let me know if you have any questions.
