Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple.  The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

  • Is it possible to embedd other Non YouTube videos on iWeb sites?

    You know how there's a YouTube Widget that lets you easily embed YouTube videos on iWeb sites? I imagine this Widget doesn't work for none YouTube videos (e.g. MetCafe), so how do we embed those on our web site pages?

    Use an HTML Snippet and an iFrame code.....
    http://web.me.com/roddymckay/Web-Media-Test/Night-City.html
    There are two versions of the same movie on this test page. One uses the Vimeo code and the other uses an iFrame code with the URL to the Video.

  • Trouble Embedding Youtube Videos in iWeb '09

    I am trying to embed a Youtube video into my webpage but when I click on "add html snippet" or drag the youtube widget onto the page, all I get is what looks like a text box without the area to add the embed code. I had no problem with this in '08 but '09 will not recognize any of the videos that I had previously embedded.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

    I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
    Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
    I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
    Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like  <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

    Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
    <div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="newcode"/>
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
    <input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
    </form>
    </div>
    AND
    <div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
    <input type="text" name="newcode"/>
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
    </form>
    </div>
    AND
    <div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="newcode"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
    </form>
    </div>
    I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
    <div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="newcode"/>
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
    </form>
    </div>
    All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

  • The easiest way to put a YouTube video in iWeb...

    Whew! I am so stinkin' proud of myself. Now this tip isn't for you techno gurus out there. This is for the person who is as clueless about half the files on their computer as I am.
    I have a blog. I tried to use iWebMore...I've tried iWebEnhancer...etc, etc. I just can't figure out how to import YouTube with those. I've got major iDisk issues that I cannot identify much less resolve.
    So here's the tip. A couple weeks ago I downloaded a widget called TubeSock for YouTube videos. I finally opened it up to see what it was and guess what? All you do is copy the url of the video right into Tubesock and "save" it to "video for Mac" and "add to movies folder." Ta-da! So then in iWeb you just insert a movie clip and it's right in there. Drop and drag!
    If you download TubeSock for free, then it only records 30 seconds of the video. But registering it for $15 lets you download the entire video. (Some of us will pay anything for easy!)
    Let me know if you're as happy about this as I am because I cannot BELIEVE I figured something out on my own!!!
    Btw, the url to Tubesock is http://stinkbot.com/Tubesock

    Great find Gina. The best thing about using uTube on your site is that it doesn't use up your bandwidth. And I can also tell you that once you figure out how to do one thing with iWeb the rest comes very easy. Hopefully in the next version of iWeb you will be able to add a piece of HTML code right in the site, rather than having to add it post publish. Keep up the good work!
    P.S. If your interested in the way to add a uTube video in your iweb site just post your question in here. There are a lot of talented people in this forum willing to share information and ideas.

  • IWeb HTML Snippet not working!Help!

    I am new to building a website but understand where to copy and paste the HTML code to and from. However, everything I have tried will not work in the HTML Snippet.  I have spent 6 hours trying to find a way to get it to work. Suggestions???

    Anything from Youtube, Vimeo and other sites. Below is one of the Youtube embedded codes.
    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kCZqyWw2--M?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    This is the "old" code for the below video.
    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></para m><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/kCZqyWw2--M?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
    Neither of these will work. The "old" code will make my html box turn white but nothing else happens.
    Any suggestions?

  • IWeb HTML snippet doesn't work hosted outside MobileMe

    Hi
    I created a site with iWeb and used to HTML snippets.
    When I publish the site on MobileMe all works fine
    When I publish the site with my Dutch Web hosting company, those HTML components won't work.
    The vistor to the page finds a error message instead of the HTML widget:
    Not Found
    The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.knipdoor.nl Port 80
    Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
    Look forward
    Henk, NL

    Does anyone know what's wrong and how to solve the issue?
    It's clearly written :
    The requested URL /test/Welkom_files/widget3_markup.html was not found on this server.
    So go to your server and see if it's really missing.
    And if you added/deleted/changed HTML Snippets, iWeb creates new widget-markup files with new sequence numbers. When you load the webpage, some widget-markup files might not be present anymore because of these changes.
    Clear the cache of the browser and reload the webpage.

  • IWeb HTML Snippet--Facebook Badge

    I've had a Facebook HTML Snippet on my iWeb home page for over a year and suddenly this week, it quit working. I just see the outline box with a question mark in the middle now. I tried deleting the snippet an republishing it several times. I've repasted the HTML code from Facebook several times into the box. When I click on APPLY, it just doesn't work anymore. I've tried several of the Facebook snippets, and none of them work either. Wonder what's changed?

  • IWeb HTML Snippet NOT WORKING.

    Hello!
    Whenever I open iWeb and try to insert HTML Snippet, the proper HTML rectangle that has < H T M L > and a map of the world in the background appears, just like that. No edit box has appeared. When I double click it, a blue outline appears, but still no edit box to insert the HTML code into.
    I've tried removing com.apple.iWeb.plist and also com.apple.iapp.plist or something along those lines, and also removing the iWeb folder from Caches, and nothing has worked.
    I'm using iWeb 2.0.4, obviously.

    Did you purchase iLife 09 in your attempt to upgrade to iWeb 3? If not that's why you couldn't run any of the iWeb 3 updaters. You have to have iWeb 3.0 installed from the iLife disk installed.
    What was unsuccessful about trying to reinstall iWeb 2? Did you delete all receipts with iWeb in the file name located in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before reinstalling iWeb? If no, delete them and the application and reinstall.

    The best way to take care of this in one of two different ways, one is to play the movie and the right click on the video and select Set Poster Frame. The other is if you already have an image to have it as the artwork.

  • Removing ads from YouTube videos on iweb

    I would like to post YouTube videos on my website, but many include pop up ads that I want to eliminate since I cannot control the content of the ads. Is there a way to disable the ads so they don't show up when you click the YouTube on my published site? Thanks for the help!

    Those are from Google adsense, which means that particular Youtube account hs been aproved for adsense ads wth there Youtube account and they cannot be removed except by Google. The viewer has the option of clicking the little X in the corner to not watch the ad.
