Embed Video Help

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone with a good understanding of html could help me out, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using a pre-made video squeeze page which in the source code has text saying, "replace text with your video code".

So I went to youtube and got the embed code and replaced the text.. pretty simple, right? Not quite.

It messed up the whole template.. and I have no idea why.. I made sure the width/height was below the maximum I could have it.

I've realised that with problems like this is just better to ask straight away instead of driving yourself crazy over something that is probably not a big problem at all.

Cheers!

  • Can you provide a link to the file? It is difficult to say anything without having a look.

  • Can you give a link to the page you put it on? It's ok if it looks messy - just so someone can see the code.

  • Are you placing on a regular html page, Wordpress, et?
  • Here's your code:
    !-- Your Video Code Goes Here -->
    <p
    style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"
    align="center"><object height="265" width="320"><param name="movie"
    value="http://www.youtube.com/v/18zKgD1jVoU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"><param
    name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess"
    value="always">
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/18zKgD1jVoU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"
    allowfullscreen="true" height="265" width="320"></object><br>
    <br>
    The maximum video display size is 273x236.</p>
    <!-- End Video Code -->

    Notice how your video exceed the maximum dimensions noted at the end
    of the section of the template. Who knows if it's the standard HxW
    configuration... you may have to crop your video and host it on
    your own account to get best results.

    Cropping functionality is not common. I found a Free software that
    crops most video formats though: XviD4PSP

    • All I did was open it up in NVU, double click on the box where the code was in and changed the width/height dimensions and it worked..

      Don't you just hate those things you drive yourself crazy over only to find that there is a 10 second solution?
