Video gallery won't work in IE7

mbrady

I followed the Smugmug help code for setting up a gallery with embedded YouTube videos and it works great... in Firefox.

When I try visiting the gallery in IE7, the page appears to render correctly, but then an error box pops up stating:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://ruama.smugmug.com/gallery/2769977.

Operation aborted

When I click the OK button, IE7 reverts to its normal "cannot display webpage" page.

Any ideas? The gallery link is http://ruama.smugmug.com/gallery/2769977#147424795
It also fails the same way using my custom domain http://www.ruama.com/gallery/2769977#147424795


Thanks!

Hi

I've looked at your customization and I'm not quite sure what is causing the operation aborted error. I'm going to have someone else take a peek.

Thanks for the update. Looks like I managed to trip over something a bit out of the ordinary!

Any additional info on this?

Thanks,

It was your YouTuve videos, it the future - just use the <embed> tags and not the <object> tags.

Looks ok now, thanks for your help!

I can see this biting other people from time to time since the link that YouTube tells you to paste is the tag form that breaks it in IE. I know what to watch out for now though, thanks again!
