hi everyone
i am loving thickbox on this portfolio page i've created
http://ryanishungry.com/hire-us/

it works great for what i'm doing
which is linking full size videos to smaller thumbnails.

however, if you click on the thumbnails a second time
after clicking and maybe watching first and closing the thickbox
videos play inline on the page.

just a side note
i'm using a bit of extra code i got from daniel liss of pouringdown.tv
(instead of just linking video to image which should enable thickbox)
because my videos weren't playing at the correct size and i found that daniels vids on pouringdown
always played the right size.
so he gave me this-

<a href="http://ryanishungry.com/video.flv"class="hVlogTarget" type="video/x-flv" onclick="vPIPPlay(this, 'width=480, height=360', '', 'active=true'); return false;">

i've compared linking straight to the video
with adding this bit of code
and i get the same results
1st try=thickbox play
2nd try=inline play

anyone know why this would be happening?

thanks!
-ryanne

Ryan, when I clicked on the videos the first time it did exactly as
you said which I love. I think I want to do that on all my archive
pages - very very cool.

BUT it did something else on the second click. It played the first
video - "in-line" as you said, but the 2nd and 3rd videos, it asked me
if I wanted to open them with winamp - a flash player that I have on
my Sony Vaio. Not good.

The current version up now on vpip.org, 1.13i, should have this fixed.
