Question:
Will Wix support the following Javascript which essentially opens a URL in a new window (which itself is an audio player opening in a separate window)?
<a href="javascript:window.open('https://*some-url*', 'newwindow', 'width=500, height=400');"> *either text or a clickable image goes here*</a>
Product:
Any product; assume it’s Editor X.
What are you trying to achieve:
I’m evaluating whether to use Wix as the web front end to a streaming radio station. The station website will show show schedule, DJ bios, event dates / venues, and have links to external resources (e.g. Soundcloud, Mixcloud, etc.)
I want there to be a clickable image at the top of the home page that opens a new window with the streaming audio player, so that the player can be launched & stay open (and playing audio) while the user navigates around our site, or others.
Alternately, if there’s a way to embed the streaming player in the Wix page, that might be okay, but it’s sub-optimal, as our listeners typically leave their player window open for hours at a time, listening to music as they work. Our pop-out currently does this with minimal size. (You can see the intended functionality on our existing home page - https://balearic-fm.com ).
Additional information:
Currently the station website is built using Drupal. While Drupal is awesome & flexible, there are a couple of things making us think it might be so flexible it’s slowing us down. More constrained might be better - and now that Wix has a basic CMS and dynamic pages, we might be able to get all we need with it.
Note also that the radio station itself runs on a separate server (https://radio.balearic-fm.com, the home page of which redirects to our public website). No station-functionality is needed on Wix; just the ability to launch a player window.
