Having Problems with Youtube code on Textedit

HI,

I'm writing html code in TextEdit to showcase a youtube video but its not showing on the browser. Can anyone kindly see if the either something wrong with my code or is it my TextEdit setting?

Code is below:

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">

<head> <meta charset="utf-8">

<title>Test Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<object width="560" height="315">

<param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/_dm_2G-rIOs?hl=en_US&amp;version=3"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>

<embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/_dm_2G-rIOs?hl=en_US&amp;version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

</object>

</body>

</html>

Looks like your code was stripped out or something. Only see html and body tags.

Generally, TextEdit isn't considered a very good editor. Maybe try TextWrangler?

Yeah I think a bunch of your code got stripped out. You have to put 4 spaces for each line of code to keep it in the grey "code box" on the forum. Hit the space bar 4 times, copy those 4 spaces then paste it before each new line.

or you can use: http://codeviewer.org/upload

upload snippets of code there. Then post the link in the forum and we can go view it.

Just make sure you follow the "Markdown CheatSheet" just above the Reply button highlight in small blue text.
