Open browser window - not working right in different browsers

My client wants to link to a video on another company's site (he has permission). When I use the DW behavior of Open Browser Window in a specifc size it acts weird, depending on which broswer is used. I've used this function many times over the years and never had this problem until now.
Here is the page: http://www.jesseyoung.com/clients/pristine/services/chimney_sweeps.shtml If you click on the blue graphic "Chimney safety institute of America" it is supposed to open in a 620x460 window. But the client says that sometimes it opens a second full browser window of the site, and also a window with the video, which is not sized properly. It happens with Safari and Firefox, on both is Mac and PC. On my PC it all seems to work fine.
Any suggestions? Could this be something to do with the fact that the video is hosted on someone else's site?

Open Browser Window - Not working correctly.

I click the thumbnail on my homepage, I get a larger image in
a new window. Unfortunately, the homepage also redirects itself to
the larger image. You can see this at www.real9.com
I want the homepage to stay where it is, but the larger
window to open in a new window. I used the Open Browser window in
Dreamweaver to set this link up, but its not doing what I want it
too.
Help would be much appreciated, I have been trying to fix
this problem, but no success.
Thank you.

That's one way of handling it. My own preference is to leave
the link in
there and add a return false after the onclick handler. That
way the
link will still work if JavaScript is not available.
To implement that, your onclick for the link looks like this:
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pics/inside_large.jpg','LargePicture','width=640,height=480')"
Change it to:
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pics/inside_large.jpg','LargePicture','width=640,height=480');re turn
false"
Careful of word wrap. It's all on one line.

Open Browser window not working in IE8

This site: http://www.addieville.com/ruger.htm works fine in all browsers, including IE6 and IE7. However, when I checked IE8 and click on a link, it does nothing. The only way to get the another browser window to open is to right click on the link and choose open in new window. What is my problem? (or better, IE 8's problem...)

One other thing - that version of IE is on XP - does that pose a problem?
I have just fired up my old XP machine. For some reason, clicking those links in IE8 on XP opens the link in a new window, but causes the main window to crash. It doesn't do that on Vista.
One thing I noticed is that you're using a script called minmax.js. Presumably, this is to emulate min-width, max-width, etc on IE. This is needed only for IE6. Since IE7, Internet Explorer has supported minimum and maximum widths and heights. The script is generating an error in IE8.

Onclick Open Browser Window not working properly in IE

I am having one last problem with my site. Everything works just fine in Firefox, but not in IE. In IE the browser window is wider than the image. On each thumbnail there's an image map with the following coding:
<div id="bead1"><img src="images/t_bead1border.jpg" alt="bead 1" width="74" height="108" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-10,106,143" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=225,height=360')" />
</map></div>
Here's a link to the site:

Quicktime definitely not working right in different browsers

So I just made and published my site with iweb. I've uploaded it to my own server and everything loads up a look pretty good. However, the quicktime movies on my site are doing strange things.
In safari, when I go to a page that I have a quicktime movie on, I can't play it. I try to click the play button, and it won't work. But, if I right click it, it starts to play. In firefox for OSX, I can't click it at all, won't work. On a pc, firefox works perfect. All the movies play with no problem and everything looks great. In internet explorer on a pc, the site loads weird. There are white boxes everywhere, and when the pages finish loading, they are gone. It is especially annoying on the pages I have quicktime movies in, because the white boxes don't go away until the movie is done loading.
So far I have read quite a few posts that talk about "making quicktime autoplay". I have tried the technique of changing the autoplay function from "false" to "true, however when I open the specific .html file in text editor, or any html editor for that matter, the line of code containing the quicktime information is nowhere to be found. I know the page has a movie on it, but it's not in the code. Which leads me to believe it's got something to do with .mac vs. a personal server. I don't know.
Any help on any of these things would be great appreciated.
my site is: http://www.nealham.com
Thanks!

I'm sure the problem isn't what's actually there in iWeb, but what's getting created as a result. On your demo reel page, start selecting at the "all" in "all rights reserved" and drag the cursor to the middle of the video. You'll see your control bar becomes obscured. Compare that to one of my video pages
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/E275A42E-C27D-4634-BB8 6-B8218F9A175C.html
and you'll notice that it's difficult to find a click and drag that will highlight my control bar (if you start between the m and the e it's a little easier, but not every time).
The reason why I mentioned taking it apart and putting it back together again piece by piece is because then that would at least give you and idea about at what point it becomes unplayable so that when it happens in the future, you'd be able to easily defeat it. For example, if you removed everything and it still doesn't work, then you'd know you've got a really REALLY strange problem on your hands.
You could try using the forward button to move your QuickTime movie to the fore to see if that solves it, but I just checked mine and it's not the frontmost item (it's one layer down).

Opening a new browser window not working.

Hi,
I have created a webpart which uses the following line of code to open a new window and close the old one when a certain condition is met:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(),
"hwa",
"myWin=window.self;window.open('"
+ QA_URL + "','_blank');myWin.close();",
true);
This code works in the test environment, but when I try it in the production encvironment, I am receiving a message "A referral was returned from the server/" and the new window is not
being opened.
A note, that there are two configuration values being pulled from web.config which exisit in the production environment. One of them is the ldap information to look up a user and the other is the
url that should be opened in the new window. Does anyone know why this is not happening? Https exists in both the test and the production environment.
thanks
Sherazad

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you opened a new window using JavaScript.
We can do as follows:
1. Check the LDAP configure in the web.config file.

http://mundeep.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/a-referral-was-returned-from-the-server/
2.Try to set the SPSite.UserAccountDirectoryPath property.
PS C:> Set-SPSite -Identity http://brokensite.contoso.com -UserAccountDirectoryPath “”
3. Check the ULS log by the following link:

Dreamweaver - Chrome open a video in a new browser window not working

Hi guys, i'm pretty novice to dreamweaver and i've putting a site together recently...
One thing i am trying to do is open a video in a new browser window when the button is clicked upon.
I have done what i thought i needed to do this, and in safari and other browsers this works fine. In Google Chrome however this doesn't seem to want to work and rather then opening and playing the video it just automatically starts to download it.
I'm sure it is a simple fix and i apologise for the thread all about it but any help would be appreciated.

New Browser Window not working on My Mac Intel pro

I have set a behavior in Dreamweaver CS3 to open a new
browser window to a set size and to only show scroll bars if
needed. I have left all other attributes unchecked. This is not
working for me. Can you tell me how to make a new browser window to
my settings using the behaviors in Dreamweaver CS3? I do all the
steps right. what do I do when I follow all the steps for setting
up a new browser window correctly and it doesn't work!? The new
browser window never pops up even when i use an image map. The
Behavior is not working correctly and I even re-installed
Dreamweaver CS3. I am on an intel based mac pro. Running Firefox
version 3 and Safari 3.1.2 on Leopard. I have done this several
times before and it has worked. but that was before Leopard. Here
is my code:
<area shape="rect" coords="4,3,78,77" href="#"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/02.jpg','','width=378,height=504')">
The only way I can get it to halfway work is add it into the
link area
on the properties panel. The window will then open but not to
the
specified size.?
please advise as this is taking a long time to figure out!?

This is an unusual way to go about doing this. Typically you
simply put
the thumbnails up on the page rather than combining them into
a collage
and then adding imagemaps to that.
Nevertheless, it can be done.
You have code like this:
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,80,80" href="images/12.jpg"
target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/12.jpg','','width=378,height=504')">
Try adding
;return false
to each like this:
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,80,80" href="images/12.jpg"
target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/12.jpg','','width=378,height=504');return
false">

Link to Open New Window not working on Intranet

I hope someone can help me. I created a PDF file with pages that contain links. I directed the linked files to open up in a new window. The linked files open in a new window on my hard drive but when I uploaded the pdf file and the links folder to our intranet at work, the links work but the files do not open in a new window. They open in the same window. Please help.

Shortcut to toggle windows not working right

Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2); OS 10.6.8
When I employ the Command-tilde shortcut to toggle windows in Safari, it only cycles among two or three open windows. In other words, it does not bring to the front any other open windows that I want to view. For example, right now I have 4 windows open and it cycles through 3 of them but I have to manually choose the fourth from the Window menu. I just opened a fifth window and it still only toggles among the same three that were already open, but not the fourth or the fifth. I checked Safari Prefs and cannot find anything related to this. Any ideas how to fix or adjust this?

Hi-
The last time I saw a similar problem to yours, he was also running Panther. I advised reinstalling the 10.3.9 combo update, and his woes were gone.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
Another thought is to check System Preferences/CD's & DVD'S, and check your selection nuder "When you insert a blank CD" (or DVD).
Running Disk Utility from the install disk, and repairing permissions is also another possible fix.

JavaScript to Open New Window Not Working

I am trying to program a button to open a pop-up window. I
have read several of the previous posts regarding this problem
(seems to be pretty common), and have tried the resolutions, but
still no luck. My button (despite the code) simply just advances to
the next screen. For the button, I have programmed it so it
launches the following JavaScript code:
javascript: openNewWin();
In the standard.js file I have copied the following code per
a previous post:
function openNewWin()
var o = window.open('CDMTS Course Map.htm','Course
Map','left=0, top=0, width=1280, height=800, titlebar=no,
menubar=no, toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, resizable=yes,
scrollbars=yes, status=no');
o.focus();
In the post that I received this direction, it mentioned
something about putting this code in the Publish folder of
captivate. I'm not 100% sure that I've placed it in the right one,
but I think so.
Can anyone help me with this problem? It seems like such an
easy thing to do!
Thanks,
Kristi

Open browser window behavior in Mac not working right

I am simply selecting my text in my html document and then selecting "Open Browser Window" from the Behaviors panel. I then put in the info for the file I want it to open along with the size, etc...
When I test it in the browser (Safari) the link works but the rollover features don't show ... it doesn't show as a link in the browser window. I followed the tutorial exactly and the instructor's browser showed the link as a rollover. It's driving me a bit crazy.
I'm using CS5 on the latest version on Mac OS (Snow Leopard).
I can put up an example if needed.
Thanks so much for any assistance.

Open Browser Window behavior not working

Just getting started with DW from GL - have successfully imported a few sites into DW from GL and am having trouble getting the Open Browser Window behavior to work. Worked fine in GL, code is similar but different. Have tried different things and am out of ideas. I'm not too code-savy.
Here's where the non-working behaviors/actions are: http://www.philasecurities.com/data/luncheon.html
When a user clicks on the red "more..." links they should open a new browser window like they do in the "Click
here for previous years..." section.
Any help would be appreciated!

bregent, thanks for your input but unfortunately most of that's greek to me. Could you either supply me with sample code for one of these links or explain what I'm doing wrong in the design mode? I've followed DW instructions and as far as I can tell I'm doing what I'm supposed to in the behaviors tag inspector. Not sure about some of the settings I should have when browsing for the linked file to open in the new browser window. What should the parameters be set to? What should the relative link be set to, document or site root? How about some of the other options like Select file name from: data sources, server, site root? I've messed with them and tried different combinations but nothings working for me.
