A HREF URL won't work

I am trying to get the following link to work. 

<a href='#' onclick='window.open(" | &ESPP_Info_URL | ");return false;'>Employee Stock Purchase Plan Information</a>

Basically the &ESPP_Info_URL variable takes in a url so that the code below looks like...

<a onclick="window.open(https://...);return false;" href="#">Employee Stock Purchase Plan Information</a>

But when I click the url it just refreshes the page. Does anyone know how to get this to access the link within the window.open function?

Here's an extended version with more dynamic functionality, jic: http://jsfiddle.net/ofnh7gke/

And the smaller version: http://jsfiddle.net/rqf3s72n/

Javascript

var sites = ['http://www.google.com','http://www.github.com'];
document.getElementById('btnStockPurchasePlan').onclick = function(){
    window.open(sites[0],'_parent');
    return false;
};

HTML

<a href='#' id="btnStockPurchasePlan">Employee Stock Purchase Plan Information</a>

Try this, You need wrap url with in single quotes ' - window.open('YOUR URL HERE')

<a onclick="window.open('YOUR URL HERE');return false;" href="#">Employee Stock Purchase Plan Information</a>
