Hey there

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

Add

Code:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) {  //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
  if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
    document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
  else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
// -->

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:

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:

<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:

<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:

<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

I don't follow Ash.. Upload the pages somewhere or post the whole source code so we can help you

I did that and it never worked so I took a screenshot to see if I have my files right.

Sorry for the no images it's a temp account and thats also why I neved uploaded the movie plus I could not due to space.

Page You have to click prologue.

This time it opens a new window that firefox cannot find the page even tho it is there and it also makes the webpage behind it turns into the page that I wanted to open in the small window so it does not work. This is the code I have.

Code:

<a href="application.html" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('application.html','','resizable=no,width=500,height=500')">application</a>

I doubt it's right but if it's not can you tell me where I go wrong.

I can't understand what you are saying, a new window is popped up, but the page in it can't be shown?

Ash · **Posted:** Fri Jun 23, 2006 2:13 pm

The new window that opens cannot be found by firefox and the webpage that had the link you clicked to open the new window changes to the file that should be the small window.

This is what it does.

opening smaller windows for movies.
