Hi
I have a website that opens out to a full page. It does
this to fit everything onto one page so the user doesn't
have to scroll - it has a close window option so the user
can get out at any time.
The website is for my band, and we have a video page where
people can download a .wmv file and it will automatically
start playing in Windows MEdia Player - I use the
following code:
<object
id="mediaPlayer" WIDTH=280 HEIGHT=200
classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mpl
ayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player
components..."
type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="false">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="fileName"
value="http://members.optusnet.com.au/~celebritymusic/g/gil
bert.wmv">
</object>
If the user doesn't have the codec for .wmv, then Media
Player tries to automatically download it. Normally, a
security certificate pops up asking if they want to
download it, but in this case the pop-up is hidden behind
the main window of the website (I assume because it is set
to full screen).
My question is how do I make the security certificate
window pop up in front of my website window, so the user
can click 'yes' and have the .wmv codec downloaded
allowing them to see the video?
Thanks!!
