974 PointsProblems with embedding youtube video
Why isn't the embedded code that Nick uses in course working for me? The page is just a blank page; nothing shows. I tried using Chrome and neither worked or changed. Here is the code: >>><object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?hl=en_US&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Protocol-less URLs don't work without a web server, so in that case just add http: in front of the URL.
> The main caveat to keep in mind when using the protocol-less reference is that it will fail on pages loaded via file:/// (i.e. HTML pages you load directly from disk to your browser). So, do be sure to include the http: protocol in the URL if you happen to be developing without a web server at all, but don’t worry about omitting it otherwise.
