This solution was the best sent to me form another list. Very slick and easy to implement. Works well with Witango.
Only think to keep in mind is after you open this window the browser back and JavaScript back will not work I got around it by passing the needed URL in the link to the detail page and then using that argument for my back. I imagine I could easily have called a different taf file for this and then I would not have had to change the back stuff. You can see it by going to www.visionvideo.com and doing a search for distant thunder and then playing the clip for either the list or detail view./ Hey Dan Look into lightbox, greybox, thickbox... They're all variations on a theme: Opening a file or a web page as a layer _on top of_ your regular web page using JavaScript. I like GreyBox because when I was looking into them, GreyBox could open both individual files (like jpegs) and web pages (either local or remote), using mostly the same code. Also, reviews said that GreyBox was more lightweight than some of the others. They're all pretty easy to set up. http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/ HTH, -Joel -- Dan Stein FileMaker 7 Certified Developer Digital Software Solutions 799 Evergreen Circle Telford PA 18969 Land: 215-799-0192 Cell: 610-256-2843 Fax 215-799-0192 ( Call 1st) FMP, WiTango, EDI,SQL 2000, MySQL, CWP [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dss-db.com "There is a larger frame to the painting than the one that bounds our life's events." > From: Dan Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:50:05 -0400 > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Conversation: Opening a modal window > Subject: Witango-Talk: Opening a modal window > > I want to open a modal window to play a video clip and have it just be a > window with no toolbars etc so the clip can just play and then they can > close the window. > > What is the best way to do this even if the have popup windows blocked? > > If you know a way do you have a code snippet? > > > -- > Dan Stein > FileMaker 7 Certified Developer > Digital Software Solutions > 799 Evergreen Circle > Telford PA 18969 > Land: 215-799-0192 > Cell: 610-256-2843 > Fax 215-799-0192 ( Call 1st) > FMP, WiTango, EDI,SQL 2000, MySQL, CWP > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.dss-db.com > > "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends." > > Abraham Lincoln > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf > ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
