Remarks
This element specifies a URL to a Web site, e-mail address, or script command. The user can access the target of the URL by clicking on the graphic or text associated with the MOREINFO element, or, for Windows Media Player version 6.4, by opening the More Information submenu of the Windows Media Player File menu. The details depend on the parent element of the MOREINFO element:
If the HREF attribute specifies a URL to a Web site, the browser opens and navigates to the URL. If the HREF attribute specifies an e-mail address, the user's e-mail application starts. If the HREF attribute specifies a script command, the script command executes in the browser.
Note If the MOREINFO element appears within an ASX or ENTRY element, when the mouse cursor is held over the title of the show (for an ASX element) or clip (for an ENTRY element), the URL defined in the HREF attribute can be selected and accessed by Windows Media Player.
The TARGET attribute defines the frame or window in which the browser will open the page defined by the HREF attribute. The values for this attribute follow standard HTML syntax and definitions. In the case of a control embedded in a Web page, if no TARGET attribute is defined, the URL loads the current browser window and replaces the existing page, which means the content stops playing. Therefore, it is recommended that you always specify a TARGET attribute when embedding the Windows Media Player control in a Web page.
If the metafile is opened in the stand-alone Windows Media Player, the TARGET attribute is ignored, and the URL loads in a new browser window.
