Some javascript help needed.

I am playing with a new affiliate page. The give me the code below, which will produce a set of links that change on a daily basis. However, tha open in the same window. I e-mailed them and the say they wont chance the default to opening them in a new window. They did say that using window.open would force a new window. How would I get this to work? So far all attempts have failed.

I know I could open a link from my site in a new window to show the page, but I'd like it within TP if possible.

I am not sure about java but could you not through a target=self or something?

I found this on the web
Javascript
it makes the subject clearer for me and if you read this thread below, Ichbin has also explained it in detail, that you do not need to include the javascript arguments for this to work. 

Ichbin's Explanation

I know that, and tried it already. The page being displayed on my site comes from them. The links within it open in the same window. I'm trying to force them to open in new windows so I dont loose my members to surfing another site.

The way it is at the moment, members on my site can only click one link. They have to back up loads of pages to get back to pick another. I want the option for them to be able to close one window, select and view another link.

Also there are other options available like having the full or partial description too but i just gave you an example.
