Hi,

I have also listed this in Javascript as not sure where problem is

I hope someone can help a newbie, I am creating a small website that will be used for viewing flash videos.

The plan is to have the first page (main menu) with a list of buttons/links so that when a button/link is clicked it will open another webpage with the selected flash video.

I need the page(s) with the flash video to open full screen (I know people do not like this, sorry).

I have have created the main page with the buttons/links and used some code found on this site to put a script into the header so that when I click one of the buttons/links on the main menu page it will open up another page in full screen and run the flash video.

The code I have used is:
<script>

</script>

This script works and opens the page in full screen but the problem I have is if I click any button on the page it takes me to the same "trainingflash.html" page listed in the script, irrelevant of the link (href) I have set the button to.

The code I have for the buttons are:
<form>
<a href="xxxxxxxxxxx.html">
<input type="button" onClick="fullwin()" value="test window">
</a>
</form>

does anyone know what code I should be using or the parameter I should be using in the scripts to open the link the button is set to in full screen?

Any advice regarding this issue would be appreciated.

Regards

The reason every button is opening the same file is because you pass the same URL/file inside the function. You either need to pass URL where training.html or do this:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function openWindow(URL,windowName,windowFeatures){

newWindow=window.open(URL,windowName,windowFeatures)
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<a href="javascript:openWindow('http://www.google.com','windowName','scrollbar=yes,width=800,height=600')">Click me</a>

</body>
</html>
