I would like to have a page with a few different video clips on it.
when you click on one of the clips, I would like a new window to pop open, and resize itself to the same size as the clip that it is playing.

Does anyone know how to do this in either GoLive or Dreamweaver?

Thanks

Go to the Dreamweaver Exchange site and look for "JustSo Picture Window Extension"

It will open a popup window the same dimensions as your image. I'm not sure if video causes it any problems.

In go live 5 activate the link you want to open the window and then apply the open window action from the action palette to the HTML page that contains the Quicktime clip. There's a whole hunk of options in the palette menu to switch off all annoying menu bars etc.

Also you could put:
<body TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0> in the body tag of the HTML page containing the QT clip to keep it snug! Not exactly W3c compliant but Apple uses it!

Thanks....I'll give these ideas a try this weekend.

Here is another question:

Lets say that I have 4 video clips, and I want to set up 4 different icons that they can click on but have them all play from in the same location below the icons....I want the 4 icons in a row, and the video in a window right below the 4 icons.
Any ideas on this one?

Thanks

well you could use frames or 4 versions of the same page with the same navigation icons, or maybe target cells in table although can't quite remember how to do that

sounds like a job for frames to me, unless you want to go the Flash route and export that way? frames is much easier though

regarding the original question, you'd be better off using a bit of simple javascript to kick your windows off, thus:

<BLOCKQUOTE>code:<HR><pre><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>[/code]

calling it like this:

<a href="javascript

opup()">PUNANI!</a>

for more, just use popup1, popup2, et cetera

that should work fine, assuming your QT.html page works fine. just resize as needed.

shout me if you need any more info

[edited to take the damn smiley out of the code, because i forgot the first time. doh!]
