Help with opening new window in script please

[sarah]

Hello,

Could someone tell me how I can open a new window in the script. I have tried putting (target="_blank") in different areas, window.open before (url), but nothing seems to work.

What script?

Java Scripts

Where my urls are, I would like to open them in a new window.

<style>
<!--
.scrollerstyle{
font-family:webdings;backgroundink;border:1px solid pink;cursor:hand;
}
-->
</style>

<script language="javascript">

var msgs = new Array(
"Internet Church For Christ",
"Free Stuff Galore",
"Tons of Free Recipes",
"Shopping Villa - Internet's Largest Shopping Mall",
"Fun and Games" ); // No comma after last ticker msg

var msg_url = new Array(
"http://churchforchrist.com",
"http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/LIND4371/mycustompage0003.htm",
"http://RecipeWonderland.co.nr",
"http://ShoppingVilla.co.nr",
"http://christianfunfair.cjb.net" ); // No comma after last ticker url

Actually, it's the rest of the script we need.

[jscheuer1]

Find this in the script:

function goURL(){
 location.href=msg_url[count];
}

Change it to this:

function goURL(){
 window.open(msg_url[count]);
}

count--

}

setInterval("moveit(1)",setdelay)

function goURL(){
location.href=msg_url[count];
}

init_news_bar();

</script>

Where the bold is I have tried, window.open(msg_url[count]);
window.open msg_url[count]);
window.open.href=msg_url[count]);


but it doesn't seem to work.
