How can i make a pop up on my site and make it play a music video? (i have the place to store the video online)

that depends on what format the video is in.

i think it's .avi formatt that i put it in!

depending one what the client has, you can achive this by adding the code to the window for the windows media player or a quicktime player to activate. 123webmaster should have some helpfull documentation on this as well.

hope it helps!

You don't have much choice here. You can embed an AVI file into the webpage or use flash. Any other video format will display in a seperate application, like real media or MPG.

If you use an AVI file you can try something like this:

<EMBED SRC="yourfile.avi"
AUTOSTART="TRUE"
LOOP="FALSE"
WIDTH="XX"
HEIGHT="XX">

replace "XX" with dimensions of your choice ("120" for example)

You can use all the basic image tag attributes in addition to the ones above.

You will need to experiment to get it placed into your HTMl page where you wnat it and to get the correct width and height dimensions.

thanks for the help but how can i do it with .mpeg files?

hmmmm...I thought I covered that in my previous post. MPG's will display in whatever application a person has installed on their computer. Most windows machines will use the Windows Media player.

As far as I know you can only embed an AVI file.
