Javascript with links

Question

Ive found a great javascript news ticker but I cant get the
text to link to their news stories, please help

Answer 1

Logical "and" in javascript is &&
For example:
if (temp==line[nextline] &
temp.length==line[nextline].length &
nextline!=lines)
should be:
if (temp==line[nextline] &&
temp.length==line[nextline].length &&
nextline!=lines)
