[thelist] How to do this? Mov links

[Martyn Haigh]

If you look at the code you will see that these links are structured like
this:

a href="gallery/CCAC_S021/QTs/S021_jessi_anim.mov"
onClick="OpenWindow('gallery/CCAC_S021/QTs/S021_jessi_anim.html',320,270,'sc
rollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,resizable=no','movie
window'); return false;"><img src="gallery/CCAC_S021/S021_jessi_anim.gif"
width="60" height="45" border="1"></a>

with the developer uses the onclick (no caps!!) property of the A tag.  When
the link is clicked on it will try and run the onclick property before the
normal href.

The onclick property is just calling some javascript that opens a new window
with the movie in.

Hope this helps

P.S.
The JS function he's calling looks like this :

function OpenWindow(url,width,height,options,name ){if(! width )
width=640;if(! height ) height=420;if(! options )
options="scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,resi
zable=yes";if(! name ) name="outsideSiteWindow";var
newWin=window.open(url,name,"width="+width+",height="+height+","+options );}

On this site there's some links to some movies in mov format.

The link itself is just normal, so you can right click and download it.

However if you click on it with the left mouse button then it opens in it's
own little popup window.

I cna't see how it was done, anyone know?

Thanks,
