You may want to read this FAQ:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Compatibility.html

If something works in Safari, works in Firefox and works in Opera but does not work in Internet Explorer then the problem probably is Internet Explorer. Since you can't change Internet Explorer and the code works in all other browsers all I can tell you is: live with it.

Internet Explorer ist echt zum Kotzen, das ist nunmal so, kann man nicht ändern und ist Weltbekannt. So leid es mir auch tut. Mir ist Internet Explorer total egal. Darauf kann man nun wirklich nicht Rücksicht nehmen da ca. 30% der Dinge in IE nicht funktionieren, obwohl sie in allen anderen Browsern funktionieren.

Gruss,
Cédric

hi Cédric,

thanks a lot. i will write in english for understanding to other people here. that´s centainly right. but most of people are using internet explorer, so i dont have to ignore them. but i don´t want to downgrade the smooth workflow wich i reached with your help: nice button, nice videowindow (centered!), editing posibility in iweb. it´s a difficult decision. oherhabs there is another html-script for popup a nice centered videowindow that works in explorer too?

another problem: i want to create a safety text like "this is a demo video" and want to lay over the quicktime movie. that video plus overlayed text should appearin the little popup videowindow. but iweb let me paste a text in front of the video, but after that the text dont appears in the videopopoup window. doesnt that work at all in iweb? is there a posibillity to put text in front of a quicktime vid?
(entschuldige für das etwas zu große angehängte bild)

thanks a lot

Paste this entire code in an HTML Snippet:

<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

// Centered Pop-Up Window (v1.0)
// (C) 2002 www.smileycat.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header

var win = null;
function newWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,features) {
var winl = (screen.width-w)/2;
var wint = (screen.height-h)/2;
if (winl < 0) winl = 0;
if (wint < 0) wint = 0;
var settings = 'height=' + h + ',';
settings += 'width=' + w + ',';
settings += 'top=' + wint + ',';
settings += 'left=' + winl + ',';
settings += features;
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
win.window.focus();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onClick="newWindow('http://www.java-scripts.net','','750','450','resizable,scrollbars,status,toolbar')">Click Here</a>
</body>
</html>

If this code doesn't work either you may want to search for "centered popup" in Google for more codes.

iWeb posts the video always in front of everything. To have behind something you would need to add the video with code and put the code in the page source code once published. Anyway that's not ideal.

Why don't you put the movie in iMovie and add a title for the entire length of the video? This way the text would in the video itself which is much better.
