embedding javascript in HTML

[cm80]

Hi,
I have an page that at the moment contains mostly HTML. I have a link to a new page using <a href=....>etc.
and I want to use javascripts window.open to open the page in a new window. The only problem is I don't know how to embed the javascript in HTML.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is rough, I don't have time to look up the exact syntax, but what you do is:

Write a jscript function which does what you want. Use the appropriate comment markers to indicate that this is embedded javascript so that browsers without jscript won't display parts of your function or otherwise do things you don't want. Then you replace your href with something like &quot;onClick=myfunction(&quot;url&quot&quot;.

Check out htmlgoodies.com for a pretty good Javascript tutorial.
