Can't get <iframe> embeds to show up in IE

Recommended Posts

Hello again everyone, here I am once more.

I have several videos which I have copied the embed code for and they are <iframe>.

They work great in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, but I can't get any to work in Internet Explorer.

Maybe there is a setting somewhere I can't find??

In IE, they show up as black space.

I've tried to search through previous posts, but I guess I can't do that right either because I didn't find anything but I recall people posting problems with IE.

May I ask, once again for some guidance?

The IE is Internet Explorer version 11

 

The embed code for one is :

 

<iframe width="854" height="510" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RCImd8vZWG4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

The place I got it is:

I right-clicked and looked at "stats for nerds" but that doesn't mean anything to a dummy like me :umnik2:

 

There a few on this page :

( the Sermon, Trusting God, and I don't have a clue about "Graceful Ballet" )

 

I don't expect anyone to look at all my pages and solve my problems, just some guidance.

Thanks very much for your input. I've tried all of it now and still can't get the Youtube embeds to work in IE. I also searched Google and looked at EchoEcho.com, but nothing works in IE.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to warn folks somehow that if they're using IE, they probably wont get the video.

Maybe there's some code somewhere that deals with IE, I can't be the only one that's come across this problem. :facepalm:

:good:

Thank you for your help, keytone (John)

My tests conclude that the code works in versions of IE down to 7.

 

Just make sure you add http: to the URL, which is not present in the code you showed in the third post.

You are right, I didn't have the http: in there. I got excited when you pointed that out even though it was a dumb thing to overlook it.However, when I changed it, the trouble didn't go away. It still doesn't work in my IE, IE 11. I tried clearing the temporary files/cache in settings and tried refreshing the page, but everything on the page refreshes except for the black space where the youtube video should be. Refresh is working just fine.Maybe I just don't know how to clear the cache right or maybe I'm just dumb to IE.oh well, I feel like giving upThanks to both of you.

Are you testing this on a server or on your filesystem? If you're loading it from your filesystem, make sure that when the browser prompts you to accept scripts running on the page you accept them. This doesn't happen on a server.

Well...You have solved my problem!!I went back to Internet Options and then Security tab and then chose Custom Level. Went through each and every one and enabled Active Xand all scripting and...Walah!I feel silly now, I don't know why I never did that before, just assumed everything was set where it was supposed to be, but assumption always gets me fouled up.It wasn't the code at all, it was "operator error".Thank you both for all your time and trouble. I'll give you a break now!keytone ( John )
