Hi, I think this is a simple question. I'm trying to download a movie that has a code in javascript to open it separately from the main window. What I wanted to know is how do I download this movie? Is there a way?
This is the message I get when I try to download it:
Internet explorer cannot download from openWindow('movie 013586395');.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found, please try again later.
Is there something I can do that allows me to download this?
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan

Not sure what your asking. Give us a link to this movie maybe?
what is 'movie 013586395' suppose to be referencing? openWindow('movie 013586395'); in and of itself will do nothing...

I dont think this is his JS. I believe he is trying to dl a movie from a website by right clicking it and Save As, but the link is not to the movie directly, it links to a JS Function that launches a window that plays a movie.

that's the problem...When I click on it, the movie opens up. But when I try to download it to my system. It gives me this message:
Internet explorer cannot download from openWindow('movie 013586395');.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found, please try again later.

Thats what I was just saying.
You are not downloading the movie, you are trying to download a link to a javascript function. You need to get the URL of the actual movie file.
Yes, so I'm guessing that all you will need to do is reference the link differently.... I'll let you know once I see the code.

I don't know what code you're talking about...Here is the address:
http://fmimages.tripod.com/fmimages/multimovies.html
If you try to save any of the videos, it gives an error message.
Ok, I went on the site, and I'm just going to use this one as an example: <a href="javascript:openmovie('Video1.htm')">Movie 1</a>
Try linking to it like this, and let me know if it works...
<a href="http://fmimages.tripod.com/fmimages/Playdays2000_2.ram" onclick="openmovie('Video1.htm'); return false;">Movie 1</a>
That should also keep your page working for those with javascript disabled...

no, it didn't work...It just opened up a tripod page stating that the page or file I was looking for was not there

If you were to watch the video, it would be downloaded into your temp internet files most likely
