For Web Developers

As part of SWCP's interest in Open Source software and easy to use web based applications we're working on making several open source packages easily available, see Webapps for more information about this. Many common questions are answered in the Web Apps section of our Knowledge Base.

This section of the Wiki will contain more detailed information about web applications, CSS, Web brower issues, HTML editors, and other web development issues. This is still under development, so bear with us. If you have a topic you'd like us to cover, send email to help@swcp.com and we'll try to find you some answers.

Video with QuickTime

This is quick recipe for adding a popup window that include a Quicktime movie that starts playing immediately.

First the POP Up Window

In the HEAD section of your HTML document, add the following Javascript to open a 240x240 sized window.

<script language="JavaScript">
function popupTitleURL(url, title) {
 myw = window.open("", 'crmPopup',
 'width=240,height=240,location=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');
 myw.document.write("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>");
 myw.document.write(title);
 myw.document.write("</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>");
 myw.document.write("<embed src='");
 myw.document.write(url);
 myw.document.write("' autoplay='true'");
 myw.document.write(" KIOSKMODE='True'");
 myw.document.write("' width=200 height=200>");
 myw.document.write("</embed>");;
 myw.document.write("</BODY></HTML>");
 myw.moveTo(10,10);
}

Add the movie

In the body of the HTML document add a Javascript call to that function with a URL that points to your Quicktime file.

  <script language=JavaScript>
  </script>
