Newbie script query

[CeNo]

Hi all,

Newbie question for you all....

I downloaded a script for use with my own personal site, which works very
well. I just wish to make a modificatiopn if possible.

Basically it is a news ticker, and when a user clicks on a news item they
are taken to that URL, but in a blank page. I wish for the new page to be
just a pop up window, with a few lines of text within, that the user can
then close and return to the page within the site....

I have enclosed the script for your perusal. - Note...the creaters email
address no longer exists, so I could not contact him for help!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanx,

Sean.

[kaeli]

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

a guess...

function goURL()
{
window.open(msg_url[count],"","width=200, height=200");
}

Replace the function I quoted with the function I wrote.
