Cheryl, something I noticed: The web address in the video was 'SpouseBeGone.com', whereas elsewhere on the page it was 'SpouseBGone.com'. Unless your client has both domains, you may want to correct one of them?

I use VSD quite a bit. I just created a website for a client and have tested it in 2 different versions of IE, and one version each of Opera, Safari, FF and Google Chrome. I have seen no problems. However, I had a friend look at it on her computer using IE7 (I think) and she could not see the video and the page was all out of proportion. I was wondering, could someone look at the site and tell me if it looks like there are any problems? I don't want the client to see it until I am sure. The URL is websbycheryl.com/testone


If your friend is using a 64bit version of IE, there is a 64bit version in Windows 7, then they will not see the flash video because Adobe has not released a plugin for 64bit IE, and there is much doubt they will not release one at all.

To add to Jim's post.
32 bit on a 64 bit system.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

While that might explain the failure to render the flash, it still does not explain the page being off-kilter or the content of the iframe just not being there. But this might:

Joy. Gotta love IE. Could we just lead the masses over the Firefox?

By the way...I guess from what I was reading, the iframe content and the "framed" page need to be the same doctype (or IE forces it...)....easy to do when adding your own content...but not so much when the child content is not yours. Looks like YouTube is using HTML5 and your site is HTML4.

You might try looking about for a long-term solution...but see if this helps for now. Add the following in the "head" of your page with the other meta tags:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

I tend to think somewhere there is or will be a solution as YouTube (which offers up the iframe method to embed the vids) is likely getting an inbox-full of questions and complaints.


...Oh....and I went on this little quest because in the IETester where the vid should be, in IE9, there was just a big white open void.

Gosh everyone. Thanks so much for the great input. Melanie, I used the code and put it in the header. I did not know that Youtube uses html 5 and VSD uses 4. This is the first time I have used Youtube to embed a video. Usually I use Coffee Cup's Video Player but the client requested Youtube so I did what they wanted.

I learn something on every one of these websites I do. I am so grateful for these forums on CC. One of the reasons I use the CC software over anything else is the great support not to mention the great software!

Thanks again. Keep the comments coming. I really appreciate it.

Sadly, it does not appear to have solved the issue. I do think that meta tag has to come before the style sheets. Any way of moving it up right beneath the opening <head> tag?

I am using VSD and it doesn't give you the freedom to put things where you want them in the head section. However, what I may do is just go in using the html editor and manually edit the head section and then upload it. I hate doing that because later if I forget I did that and then revise somthing in VSD it will mess it up again. The other option I guess is to tell my client I am not going to use Youtube and I will just have to use the CC video player.

Thanks for checking that out again for me. BTW: I downloaded the IE tester but it keeps crashing when I try to test any website in IE9. Any suggestions?

Oh boy, IE9 is a big problem. I manually edited the head section using the CC html editor and it still doesn't work in IE9 at least on the IE tester. It works in every other IE, just not 9. The other problem now is that I converted the video in CC video player and no matter quality I choose (good, better, best) it all plays it stilted. Youtube did a way better job in the conversion. The file is an mp4 but CC video player does not convert it well.

Funny thing. I have tested and retested the website on my laptop which is running IE9 and it displays it just fine. Weird.

So you see the video when using IE9 on your laptop? I should likely download IE9 someplace...but have enough joy in my life :P

One other thing to try....run the page through validation. There are a couple of errors that were surrounding the iframe itself. Perhaps getting rid of those will help. One strong suggestion is to get rid of the autoplay feature. It was not validating anyway.

Cheryl, In VSD click on "Edit" at the top left hand corner. Now click on "Edit header".;)
