Thanks for looking!
I have a widget that lives on a blank/fresh Blogger.com account, and with test pictures, it seems to work fine. However, when I throw in Amazon ads it breaks. Images with links as sample data, rotate and display fine. Changing them to amazon code, they break. What's going on? Am I missing an escape character?

<script language="Javascript" type="text/JavaScript">
var ad = new Array()

ad[0]='
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=netbooknewsco-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B0051VVOB2" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

function randomorder(targetarray, spacing){

var randomorder=new Array()
var the_one
var z=0
for (i=0;i<targetarray.length;i++)
randomorder[i]=i

while (z<targetarray.length){
the_one=Math.floor(Math.random()*targetarray.length)
if (targetarray[the_one]!="_selected!"){
document.write(targetarray[the_one]+spacing)
targetarray[the_one]="_selected!"
z++
}
}
}

</script>

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script>
randomorder(ad, ' ')
</script>

I know the problem is likely with the ad[] string I am using.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm guessing I need to escape a character in the string, but which?
