Thank you, works perfect! What needs to be done now, is knowing how to give the pop-up window a fixed width and height!

Great prog btw, lot's of interesting scripting and many nuts and bolts to play with, i love it

<a href="$$FILE_ITEMINDIV" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('_blank', '$$FILE_ITEMINDIV', 'width=640,height=480');return false">text</a>
Or something like that

I can't figure out how i can open a movie url.. What I do is, I make a url, that makes a reference to $$ITEM_INDIV, but when i click on a moviename (containing the reference to the url) my browser shows the correct link in the statusbar, but opens the link to $$ITEM_INDIV!

How can i solve this issue?
TIA

Actually the correct "tag" is $$ITEM_FILEINDIV
Did you use this one ?

Yes, I did! This problem is for later; but I have come up with a new problem!! What I tried to do was making a html page with 2 frames.
(http://users.pandora.be/analyse/scsi/te ... frame.html)
But my problem is now that the tags cannot be filled in.. Is there any way I can solve this problem?

NEW problem (again)

So, now i have this page: http://users.pandora.be/analyse/scsi/mo ... rames.html but when i click on the title of the movie in Internet Explorer, it doesn't show the background images in the table with the movie specs (framerate-size-..) whereas Opera 7.11 shows it perfectly.
Any solutions?
Tia

Problem SOLVED!

The only thing right now that remains to be d0ne is the pop-up window as stated above! The redirection to _blank works, but dan it tries to open (in a pop-up) xxx/$$ITEM_FILEINDIV..

which links does that ? I do not see what you mean

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2003-08-17 08:10:25

Well, i have a link, that points to $$ITEM_FILEINDIV, this is the link behind the movie title on the main page! You can't see it when it's online, but you can see in the html code! (If you need it, i'll post it)
So when I click on the link (pointing to $$ITEM_FILEINDIV, it opens the page containing the movie information, like bitrate, size, etc)
But what I want, is that the link opens in a new pop-up window, with fixed height and width. So you told me to target it to "_blank" but when I do that, and I click on a link on my main page (with all the movies) it tries to open the file $$ITEM_FILEINDIV.html, which doesn't exist..

So, now I'm trying to solve this issue!

The farest I could get was to this: <a href="$$ITEM_FILEINDIV" target="_blank">$$ITEM_FORMATTEDTITLE2</a>

But now i need to now how to give it a fixed width and height!
The code you mentioned before, with the "or something like that"

doesn't seem to work, and I can't figure out how the tag can be changed so that it gets a fixed w&h..

Post by **antp** » 2003-08-17 09:13:57

<a href="$$ITEM_FILEINDIV" onclick="window.open('$$ITEM_FILEINDIV', '_blank', 'width=500, height=400');return false;">$$ITEM_FORMATTEDTITLE2</a>

it should work

in previous message I swapped the url and the target name

I had less time than expected to work on it, so I do not know.
I hope I'll have time at end of august / begin of september to work on it.
