Hi this is quite urgent and I was hoping someone could help me out.

I am doing an xml news ticker based on the tutorial found here on kirupa. Everything is working fine and I have gotten the ticker to read headlines off an xml file. The problem is, linking to a page from the news ticker. In the tutorial, the url function in the xml file is:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?\>  
\<images\>  
\<item\>  
\<news\>This is great\</news\>  
[COLOR=red]\<url\>[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4(0);](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4(0);)")\</url\>  
[/COLOR]\</item\>

The thing is, I want the link to open up a javascript window with set properties. What I am trying is:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?\>  
\<images\>  
\<item\>  
\<news\>This is great\</news\>  
[COLOR=red]\<url\>“javascript:NewWindow=window.open(‘wonderful.html’,‘newWin’,‘width=817,height=600,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=yes,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No’); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);”)\</url\>  
[/COLOR]\</item\>  
\</images\>

This doesn’t seem to do anything…not too sure if I’ve written it correctly or if there is any other problem. I really need to get this done and any help would be very very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
