I got an error somewhere

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

var randomlinks=new Array()

randomlinks[0]="http://freewarejava.com"
randomlinks[1]="http://javascriptkit.com"
randomlinks[2]="http://dynamicdrive.com"
randomlinks[3]="http://cnn.com"
randomlinks[4]="http://www.geocities.com"


parent.location.href = randomlinks[Math.floor(Math.random()*randomlinks.length)]} setTimeout('redirect()', 0)


</script>
</head>


if anyone know what is wrong !

thank you !

i haven't tried you code but why do you use this?
setTimeout('redirect()', 0)

?

you don't have a function called redirect or did you just skip that part when you showed your script?

the setimeout is not needed, and you have a `}` in there that should not be there.

just good coding practice you should end every statement with an `;` like so

parent.location.href = randomlinks[Math.floor(Math.random()*randomlinks.length)];

so this would be all you need. (Tested)
var randomlinks=new Array("http://freewarejava.com", "http://javascriptkit.com", "http://dynamicdrive.com", "http://cnn.com", "http://www.geocities.com");
location.href = randomlinks[Math.floor(Math.random()*randomlinks.length)];
