Expanding an embedded object

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 07.2010

hi guys: I have a question: wonder if this is even possible using javascript or not. I’ve created an ad unit which is to be embedded on other sites. In this ad unit are links which when clicked upon, as supposed to lightbox the link using lightview over the whole page, not just inside the ad unit embed.

I’ve used iframe and object tags and the result is that the content always opens inside the object frame. Is there any way, other than a flash embed which expands, to do this? Basically, what I’m looking for is a non-Flash ability to overlay something over the whole page (or at least expanded outside of the embed)

Thanks…Chris

Hi fang: I've figured out that I can add a script to it. So I add a JavaScript embed. Now I need to insert the HTML from an external site into the 3rd party site, and then when a link is clicked on that HTML, that it opens a new div in the third party site. So I cant really use frame or object tags. What do you think?

Thanks...Chris
