HTML Snippet Not Working in iWeb

HTML Snippet Not Working in iWeb

Greetings:

I am using Lion and iWeb V. 3.0.4 (601), which I believe is the latest.

I wanted to start using iWeb's HTML Snippet to embed a YouTube video in one of my pages. After I get the appropriate script from YouTube, I put it in Snippet, then publish top my hard drive. And it works perfectly.

However, when I upload the html and files from my hard drive to my site (with Cyberduck), the place where it should be on my website is blank.

The location it should be is:

http://www.mackenzieproductions.com/Mackenzie_Films.html

Then go toward the bottom and see a description of:

CNN Presents: Terror Nation

That's where I place the snippet, to the empty right of the text box..

I really would like to use this system a lot more -- but cannot get the first one to work. Arrrgh!!!!

Thank you for any consideration.

Is this what you put in the HTML snippet?

Make sure you have uploaded the latest version of the Scripts folder.

Also, if you used the YouTube widget, try the embed code in an HTL Snippet instead...

These files, which display the html snippet in the webpage, are missing :

And this is the widget :

Tried that -- by cutting and pasting the script you gave -- but same problem.

You're right. The YouTube Snippet does work. But I don't see to be able to control the size it appears.

Sorry to keep bugging everyone... But what am I doing wrong that the files which display the html snippet are missing?

Use the full embed code with dimensions in an HTML Snippet so that you can adjust the height and width.

Upload the Scripts folder to get the missing files on the server.

Thank you all very much for your help. Have now resolved it. Most appreciated. (We Mac and Apple folks are a good tribe, aren't we?)

Hello Roddy, I think I have a similar problem. I am trying to publish a map fron jsfiddle on my website. Here is teh code I past in the html snippet: <iframe width="100%" height="420" src="http://jsfiddle.net/aZt8N/562/embedded/result" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0"></iframe>

When I publish the site, the map is not displayed. What is missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
