When I put the embed code for a YouTube video in the body field to post, it returns this (from looking at the page source in the browser) and only shows the code in the post:

<object width=“425” height=“350”></param></param><embed src=“http://www.youtube.com/v/IYRIBlSDu7U” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=“transparent” width=“425” height=“350”></embed></object>

<div class=“posted”>

When I do this for my other site it works fine and this is what the page source view looks like:

<object width=“425” height=“350”></param></param><embed src=“http://www.youtube.com/v/xmvxSlHuXn8” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=“transparent” width=“425” height=“350”></embed></object>

<div class=“posted”>

Any ideas how to fix this?  Thanks all!

Alexa, I just took the code you posted for the second page view source and used that in an entry. It worked for me.

If you compare the two entry sources, are they identical?

I used xhtml for my formatting

<object width="425" height="350"></param></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xmvxSlHuXn8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

And this code. Does that work for you?

Hi Sue.  I’m not sure I understand the post.  The second page source view is what is generated automatically after submitting a post on stylefuture and it’s working fine.  The first set is from artfuture and is what is automatically generated.  They are both in Xhtml.  The interesting thing is I pasted in the code generated for artfuture (the one that isn’t working) and when I pasted it here in the forum, it converted some of the text.  Example:  in the page source view it shows:

ampersandlt;object width=“425” etc.  instead of <object width=“425” etc.  It looks like many of the greater than or less than symbols enclosing some of the code are converting to gibberish.  This is happening automatically in the post - I haven’t changed anything. 

Does this make more sense? 

Thanks 😊
