Hi guys and girls.
I've copied the code from the YouTube link into my HTML code but the video won't play in my browser. I tick the option to embed old code.
Here it is:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</body>
</html>
As always, thanks for any help you can offer.

21,956 PointsMight you need to add the "http:" before the YouTube link? Otherwise, I'm pretty sure it looks for the video as a local file.

33,235 PointsDon't worry about it. It's not your fault the movie is restricted. You weren't to know. The important thing is you helped me and I appreciate it.

21,956 PointsYeah, I'm just sorry that it isn't working for you; that's all. :)

Apparently it's restricted from certain sites and it wouldn't work in any of the browsers, but the fact that it showed up at all must mean that the code you gave me is right. Thanks Adam.
