Newbie: Basic help on a syntax

[Stevehewitt]

Hey ppl,


I'm a newbie to Javascript and I have one basic problem:
This code would open up a NEW window to the site stated:

window.open("

http://www.twinhelix.com")

What would I type in so it opens up in the same window?

Cheers, Steve Hewitt

Try [tt]window.location='

http://www.twinhelix.com';

[/tt] instead, and see how that works for you. Paul Ellis
I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)

I don't know why you use the javascript for (it could be a very complex part, so maybe my answer has no benifit for you) but maybe just a link is enough for you:

<A href=&quot;

http://www.twinhelix.com&quot;>link

to twinhelix</a>

Hope this helps,
Erik

Thanks Pellis! It worked. I needed it to use in a long script i'm modifying for a menu system. The example I got opened all the links into a new window, and as a newbie I didn't know the correct syntax for it!

Many thanks Steve Hewitt
