about:blank in address bar

[muz4k]

I like this code, and I use it a lot; the video pops up onclick, and autoplays, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the address bar in this popup. Maybe I'm too picky, but I HATE the about:blank at the top, in the address bar. This is some weird code, but see if you can figure what needs to change. Here's the embedded code, and no - I don't remember where I got it.

<START CODE>

<div><a href="videos/jbtetrailer.wmv" onclick="var win=window.open('','mywindow','height=480, width=640');win.document.write('\x3Chtml\x3E\x3Che ad\x3E\x3Ctitle\x3EJourney Below The Earth\x3C/title\x3E\x3Cstyle\x3Ehtml,body {margin:0;padding:0;}\x3C/style\x3E\x3C/head\x3E\x3Cbody\x3E\x3Cembed src=\'videos/jbtetrailer.wmv\' width=\'640\' height=\'480\' autostart=\'1\' showcontrols=\'0\' type=\'application/x-mplayer2\' pluginspage=\'http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/\'\x3E \x3C/embed\x3E\x3C/body\x3E\x3C/html\x3E');return false;"><img src="img/Elevate_Overview_Map.jpg" alt=""></a></div>

<END CODE>

Thanks in advance!

Try adding the part highlighted in blue. If that doesn;t work make the =1 to say =0

A lot of the modern browsers no matter what will show the current URL that is it displaying for security reasons. (ie. imaging a pop up window where someone mimics the look of an address bar).

You might want to give this a try also... I didn't have time to test it but found this in some old code I had laying around.

<div>
<a href="videos/jbtetrailer.wmv" 
onclick="var win=window.open('','mywindow',status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,height=480, width=640');
win.document.write('x3Chtmlx3Ex3Che adx3Ex3Ctitlex3EJourney Below The Earthx3C/titlex3Ex3Cstylex3Ehtml,body {margin:0;padding:0;}x3C/stylex3Ex3C/headx3Ex3Cbodyx3Ex3Cembed src=\'videos/jbtetrailer.wmv\' width=\'640\' height=\'480\' autostart=\'1\' showcontrols=\'0\' type=\'application/x-mplayer2\'

return false;">

As a web consumer, I an irritated by web programmers telling my browser how to behave.

But I'm probably a control freak.
