How to make onclick event with embedded video?

kippie · Aug 5, 2004

I would like to have a video on my website and make it so that a visitor is brought to another HTML (in this case Google) if he clicks on the video. I have tried as I would /think it could work (see below) but is doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me to say what I do worng?

This is the HTM I have so far:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>

<a href="javascript" onClick="window.open('

http://www.google.com')"><EMBED

SRC="cyclers.avi" start="mouseover" loop="true" controller="false">
</EMBED></a>

</body>

</html>

Create a layer over the avi player and use a transparent GIF as the "button".

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

If you put a floating DIV tag over the video, and have an onclick event on the DIV tag, does that work?

Hope this helps,

Hi Tviman and Billy,

Thanks for your reaction, but I cannot get it work. It seems (at least for me) impossible to get a layer above the video. Is that so? Is the video layer always on top? I did as you said (see

but what do I do wrong?

Hmm.. maybe try using an iframe with a trapsarent background, and have the onlick event on the iframe instead?

Hope this helps,
Dan
