Opening link in new window questions... [Archive] - HTML Forums

Hey,

Very simply, I have links on my site that will open a new window which will play an embedded video within it. So, what I'd like to know is:

1. How can I make the newly opened windows only be the size of the media player that I have embedded? Like, it's not a fullscreen site, just the size of the screen of the video?

2. How can I make this new window always open in the CENTER of your screen?

and 3. How can I make this new window UN-RESIZABLE?

Thanks for the info, I'm told this is simple to accomplish, but I'm not the smartest in the HTML world. I use Frontpage AND Dreamweaver.

Thanks! :)
