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>
  < !--
    document.write('<a href="javascript:popupTitleURL(\'mymovie.mp4\',\'GHC\')">Play Movie via JS</a>');
  //-- >
  </script>
