Youtube code - I am at a loss

[DMG]

I have been trying to get YouTube to load on my web site and I keep coming up with this http://www.derrickmonroe.com/Woodhill.php look toward the bottom. Not sure why it will not show correctly - I am simply copying the code YouTube provideds me too and installing it in the HTML backend. Here is the code for this specific video they provide.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ctd9kNyy8YY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ctd9kNyy8YY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I have other videos that work but are "not" from YouTube, I have never been able to get YouTubes to work properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to click on the "source" tab of the html editor and paste the embed code in there. Just get it in there, it won't necessarily show in the editor. Save the page and then look and see if it is there. I noticed that posting a video in a REW Blog the other day that it seemed like it wasn't working, but in fact it was. I hope this is what you were referring to and that it was helpful.

Some of the code may be getting stripped out.
Put the code in a snippet. Then insert the snippet where you want it.

If that doesn't work, post again and I can give you a modified code that should work. (check out this thread for what the modified code should look like http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...ube#post279590 )

Cal & OC Team - thanks a ton for the replies. I had to make a snippet like suggested then it worked. For whatever reason it does not work under the source html but the snippet did. Thanks again

Is the size of the video player the problem in that not room for that dimension you want to embed? Tray a smaller, in ratio size player. Have had cause a video to not show on a stand alone blog before. Not room in architecture of site.

I embedded one in the source and it worked for a moment and then broke. Apparently the script gets broken. Use the snippet method above.

Aaron replied to a question I had in another thread that they could probably add an video embed icon on the editor that might work. Of course needed to place work order to get quote. I'm not ready yet.

I do think the REW blog editor could be enhanced with someting like the WP editors "kitchen sink" which gives lots more tools to work with. None the less it is what it is.

I went through your same frustrations and then put it in a snippet. Not so bad though once it's set up because then you only modify the snippet and leave the rest alone.

If you plan on using the video in multiple areas of the site a snippet would be the best way to do it. Always remember when pasting any code into a page it must be pasted under HTML mode.
