    The YouTube link works fine for me. Or is there something more?

  2. Himself Says:

    Yeah. I can’t see it in MSIE or Firefox. Are you using Safari or Firefox?

  3. rae Says:

    Hm, I can’t see it any more. Did you change something?

  4. rae Says:

    Did mine work? The main difference I think is that you added newlines to format the HTML. **BUT** you have “turn newlines into br’s” turned on, so it spit a bunch of those between the embedding HTML, which probably cause problems.

    You can either (a) turn off “auto-formatting”, or (b) make sure there are no newlines in the midddle of embeddings.

    Thanks, I’ll double check that.

    PS, I recopied the embedding code from youtube and left it as it was. One problem before was that Something was actually moving small blocks of HTML around, such that, for example, the ‘target=”_blank”‘ substring of the Yahoo News link was within the embedding code from youtube….

    Go figger.

  7. Himself Says:

    PS.2, in Firefox your reformatting works for the youtube embedding but the whole page is misformatted, but that was true the other day, before you worked on it. MSIE shows both my embedding as a blank rectangle with the standard Red-X box in it, but below it is your embedding, which works. If you try on mgc or r2e2’s machines you might see what I mean…

    And thanks for taking a look at it.
