Hey there

There's a way to do it with javascript..

Add

Code: Select all: <SCRIPT language=JavaScript>  function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0 window.open(theURL,winName,features); } //--> </SCRIPT>

between the <head></head> tags and this in your <a> tags

Code: Select all: onclick="MM_openBrWindow('url','','resizable=no,width=x,height=y')" href="#"

where x is the width of your smaller page, y the height and url the page of your link.

ok I put this in

Code: Select all: <a onclick="MM_openBrWindow('url','','resizable=no,width=640,height=480')" href="video.html" target="_blank">Watch game trailer movie.</a> <br />

then when I click the link it opens a small page that don't open the movie and opens a normal page that has it on.

I tried embedding it in withis code:

Code: Select all: <EMBED src="BI_Intro_640x480.wmv" width="198" height="178" pluginspage="video.html">

Is that right?

Tried that and it still never worked do I have to have the video hosted somewhere?

Code: Select all: <embed src="Videos/prologue_640x480_needs_audio.wmv" width="295" height="219" autostart="False" align="absmiddle"></embed>

If the page is hosted the video has to be hosted... If you're working offline then tha video has to be in a "Videos" subfolder of the folder that contains the page of the video...

So I will have to put the videos page inside the same folder as the video?

I also got a message saying that dreamweaver can't play .WMV's like that. Also it still opens the bigger page and the movie is on that instead of the small one.

src="Videos/prologue_640x480_needs_audio.wmv"

Nop, the page of the video is in a folder which has a subfolder named Videos that contains the video...

Or else write src="prologue_640x480_needs_audio.wmv" and put them in the same folder
