embeding a web page

Postby sketchprinting » Sun Jun 19, 2011 11:01 pm
I hope the experts here can help as I am completely stuck.

I know how to use the iframe code to show an external web page (in this case a youtube channel) in my site but the problem is that I have a wibya tool bar on the site and the video on the youtube channel shows over and hides parts of the wibya bar, I also have a page embeding a blogger page using iframe as well with a couple of youtube videos on there, the same thing happens, the video covers the bar. I have embeded some flash galleries on the site but have added a wmode=transparent bit of code to that and that solves that problem.

I have contacted wibya and they say to use <object> to embed the page instead of iframe, but how would I do that the current code is

<iframe name=ifram1
src=http://abdullahalsaleh.blogspot.com/
width=100% height=100% scrolling=yes
frameborder=0></iframe>

and

<iframe name=ifram1
src=http://www.youtube.com/user/Abdulalsaleh?blend=23&ob=5
width=100% height=100% scrolling=yes
frameborder=0></iframe>

Please help if you can

<object data="http://www.youtube.com/user/Abdulalsaleh?blend=23&ob=5" type="text/html" width=100% height=100%>
</object>

Thanks James,

I have tried this and it does embed the page, but the problem is that whereas before just the youtube video covered the wibya bar, now all the embedded page covers the wibya bar, any suggestions.

If you just want just the movie to show you can right click on the movie and select "copy embed code"
eg:
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tmXHIJJ5itw?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tmXHIJJ5itw?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

Not sure if that's what you want, if not can you post the url?

Thanks James,

I wanted to embed the whole page, but it now seems that due to some scammers, youtube have stopped people from embedding the whole page (the channel) altogether. In opera browser it brings up a message but in the others it is just a blank page. I have suggested to the customer to just add the youtube app from cooliris in the wibya bar.

thanks again

Perhaps this channel embed script from Google might suffice?

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&amp;up_channel=YourChannelName&amp;synd=open&amp;w=320&amp;h=390&amp;title=&amp; border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&amp;o utput=js"></script>
