I want to implement a pop-windows into the following script, but it doesnt work. Does anyone know what part of coding is wrong; it works without pop windows, just not when I have them in.

Heres the script;

<head>
<p><br>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

<body><script language="JavaScript1.2">

/*

*/

//Specify the marquee's width (in pixels)
var marqueewidth="640px"
//Specify the marquee's height
var marqueeheight="175px"
//Specify the marquee's marquee speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var marqueespeed=1
//Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
var pauseit=1

//Specify the marquee's content
//Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations (ie: that's great):

var marqueecontent='<font face="Verdana"color="#FF99CC"><p><br><p><br><p><br >text,etc...<a href=" http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.yahoo.com','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=ye s,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbar s=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=300'); return false;">yahoo</a></font>'

Thanks!!

Btw, when in place, I have made sure content is all on one line, even though it doesnt show like that here, so its not that either...

If you look at your code you well see when you call the window.open function it seperates the attributes with a '

And you start your variable that holds all this information with a '.

THats probably the error. What I suggest is make a fuction seperate of the var marquee content.

and just call it. Like onClick="gothere()"

function gothere(){

window.open ect...

It is also not logical to have the link in the href="..." as the address is opened in the new window and in the main window. To keep the current page in the main window without reloading use, href="#".
Here is what I usually use:
<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"javascript:window.open('/images/pic2.jpg','pic','width=525,height=700,left=10,top= 10,scrollbars,resize')\">

Try to use the \ before the double quotes as these need to be commented out sometimes.
Or used as a function:

function OPENWIN(Target2)
{
var Target;
Target = window.open("/images/"+Target2, "Target", "width=450,height=650,left=100,top=0,scrollbar s=1, resizable=1");
Target.window.focus();
}
The Target2 in the parameter list will be the image filename.
Hopefully this helps you.
