Bunt, I can only get the front page to come up. Nothing else works for some reason. Looks like an interesting site.

You cant click video list at the top?

Bunt

Might be a flash controled site, or check to see if you are blocking  X-Windows ect.

Video runs wih Microsoft Player.

Good Call!

Just tried it again with same results......nothing. No video list is shown. Running XP....have no idea what a 'flashed controlled site it'?? I've looked and can't find anywhere on my screen that something mightta been blocked.

This is the only thing that shows up:

Hi again,

The site is presenting with frames.  I've attached a GIF file of how it looks.  The video list was using Java script to run the links.  Sounds like you are not seeing the yellow links - HOME, VIRTUAL HOUSE, VIDEOS LIST etc...

The code shows a hide from Java Script challanged browsers:


**//-->
**SCRIPT>
 **script language="JavaScript">
**!-- hide from JavaScript-challenged browsers

**function openMedia(URL) {
  **window.open**(URL,'Multimedia_Center3','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,
  **copyhistory=no,scrollbars=no,width=320,height=285,screenX=90,screenY=90,top=90,left=90');
}

**// done hiding -->

Are you using MS Internet Explorer?

Do you have Java installed?  To check --> "Start"  "Control Panel"   Click on "Switch to Classic View" if it is present (top left) and you should see Java as a listed item.

I never could get it to work clicking on here. I did a Google search and clicked on it and it worked fine for some reason. Interesting site.
Now if I just had sound.....:( I will soon.

Awesome website!!  Thank you for passing that along.

Just an update - I started wathing these videos again and decided to go to the producer's site - http://www.buildingmedia.com to see what is there. Building Media makes lots of videos for lots of clients and you can view many of their projects. Worth a look.

Great info for all!

One more heads up on the buildingmedia.com site: Try Projects, Code College, pick your state, Building Envelope, Insulation, SIP - for three SIPs videos. Plus a lote more in the Code College area.
