can a variable be used with this script?

[Psycho]

A while back someone gave me the following script as I wanted to open a program in a new window:

   html "<script language='javascript'>
<!--
   window.open('http://www.runbasic.com','new','');
//--></script>"

Is there a way to include a variable for the address?

For example:
if webAdd$="http://www.runbasic.com", how can I place the webAdd$ variable in place of the hardcoded address? I've stabbed at some variations using semi-colons and double quotes but if there's a combination that works, I haven't figured out the correct one.

Here's one of my failed examples:

   html "<script language='javascript'>
<!--
   window.open('";webAdd$;"','new','');
//--></script>"

Thanks for any help,

This works for me

  webAdd$ = "http://www.runbasic.com"
  html "<script language='javascript'>window.open('";webAdd$;"','new','')</script>"
Wait

The RB page takes focus back, though. I think if you open a new window, you'll probably want that url in the forefront.

Thank you Janet. That did it

Must have had something to do with the other characters

<!-- and --> are the begin and end tags of a comment in HTML, Jscript and XML, so the window.open() function was never reached.

Aaahhhh....no wonder.
So many languages to learn and so little time to do it

Thanks Stefan.
