hello dp's, i have had ago at this or a couple of hours now and can not get my head around it. i am making a site that will allow you to watch tv programmes/movies just by clicking a link. when you click the link it will bring up a seperate window with only the player inside. say if the film monster house is on youtube how do i make it so just a pop=up comes up and only the player is inside? all help welcome.
Read This which is just below this thread for how to open a pop-up. And in a new page add something like (which is a YouTube TinTin movie BTW) as the embeded code or just add the code for your media player of choice: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eN55mGAB1qI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eN55mGAB1qI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> When you have done that link them together - test it and Bob's your uncle.
great helps thanks. BUT how can i make the parent window (popup) to be the same size as the movie??????????????????
Wood for the trees eh! You did read this bit then - in the link to the other thread height=500,width=500 is the bit to change - which would be width="425" height="350" for the YouTube movie above. I would make it slightly larger though, say 30 pixels all round.
