mikesta707 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Well you are using an iframe. Why don't you use the embed tag? http://www.html-reference.com/EMBED.asp you may also want to look into the object/param tags: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_object.asp Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/238483-embed-video/#findComment-1225498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
