Does someone know how i can load a movie into a div when i click a link?

Maybe a little change with javascript from the thumbnail viewer
I want to use it in combination with images

If you mean a quicktime .mov, I've done this before. Here is an example link for use with the script you mentioned:

Code:

<a onMouseover="document.getElementById('dynloadarea').innerHTML='<iframe src=\'filename.mov\' width=\'300\' height=\'300\' scrolling=\'auto\' frameborder=\'0\'></iframe>'">
        <img src="thumb2.jpg" width="50" height="50"></a>

And if its wmv.. (with your code it opens windows media player)
Can i change the innerhtml ?
Like

HTML Code:

<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,256,240,277" HREF="#" onclick="document.getElementById('imglayer').innerHTML='
<iframe width=\'220\' height=\'220\' scrolling=\'no\' frameborder=\'0\'>
<embed src=\'mms://stream.2003.02.garnierprojects.com/tmf/music/armin_shivers_512.wmv#0;1.000;0;0;1:2;2:2\' width=\'220\' height=\'220\' type=\'video/x-ms-asf\' autoplay=\'true\' loop=\'false\' volume=\'50\'>

No, you would make up a separate page with the embed code on it, call that page say, movie.htm . Then you could use:

Code:

<a onMouseover="document.getElementById('dynloadarea').innerHTML='<iframe src=\'movie.htm\' width=\'300\' height=\'300\' scrolling=\'auto\' frameborder=\'0\'></iframe>'">
        <img src="thumb2.jpg" width="50" height="50"></a>

Note: With .mov, if you use embed you need to use object/embed code for the movie to play in IE and other browsers (object for IE, embed for others). This may also be true for .wmv, I don't know for sure.

Here is an example page with object/embed for .mov (the 'saved from' comment line is required for some local IE implementations only):

Code:

<html>
<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<object width="160" height="300"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="filename.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="false"><embed src="filename.mov" width="160" height="300"
autoplay="true" controller="false"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</embed></object>
</body>
</html>

A web search should be able to find you one for .wmv if needed.
