    Please change to the new iFrame based YouTube embed code, otherwise Opera Mobile users without flash can't see it.
    It's a little ironic that I need to point that out given that's YouTube's HTML5 based embed code and this is an article about HTML5 :smile:

    Please change to
    the new iFrame
    based YouTube
    embed code,
    otherwise Opera
    Mobile users
    without flash can't
    see it.
    It's a little ironic
    that I need to
    point that out
    given that's

    More than a little ironic if you ask me. My Opera doesn't support iFrames for security reasons. I'll poke the devs about this issue though!

    If you look at my blog, I give the link to the YouTube video at the bottom of the page in case the video does not show up

    Hi there! We are currently working on getting embeds through iframe to work on My Opera in a safe way. I cannot provide you with any ETA for this right now, but we have people working on it and when it's ready it will be announced!

  • Ayesh IceFriday, November 4, 2011 12:23:18 PM

    RJ u open my eyes. Rock on HTML5 :left:

  • Patrick O'ReillyFriday, November 4, 2011 12:52:16 PM

    Aleksander, Robert: Thanks for the update

  • Thu WinFriday, November 4, 2011 1:19:54 PM

    Can you get OperaMini to support html5? The Bolt browser support embeded video viewing but it is too small. I'm sure the Opera guys can do better.

  • Ayesh IceFriday, November 4, 2011 2:04:58 PM

    thu win i think opera mini 6.5
    j2me warking embed youtube on my opera. Its not worked on 6.1 .

    But i think its must develep more.

  • Thu WinFriday, November 4, 2011 3:23:41 PM

    Ayeshamanta, can you improve your spelling.

    Embedded YouTube videos does not show in Opera Mini 6.5 (display as a white blank where the videos are), so I tend to leave a link at the bottom that link to the video on YouTube so the visitor can view it there.

  • Ayesh IceFriday, November 4, 2011 3:45:33 PM

    its my talking style wikipedia.


    No buddy its warking on sony ericsson j2me s .
    There is a link yes. But its not sending to youtube. Its drectly emdedling.

  • Charles SchlossFriday, November 4, 2011 3:57:27 PM

    Open The Web

    :mustache:

  • Thu WinFriday, November 4, 2011 4:16:24 PM

    @Aye, can you visit my blog with OperaMini 6.5 and tell me if you can view the embedded videos? I mean I added a URL to the video at the bottom of the embeded video, so users can manually visit the YouTube video page themselves.

  • d4rkn1ghtFriday, November 4, 2011 4:41:28 PM

    We need a :mustache: smiley! :idea:

    http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Yes.gif - I had the same thought today also

  • Ayesh IceFriday, November 4, 2011 5:38:54 PM

    wiki. I cant see any youtube video in ur blog.

    But i can play in this blog post youtube HTML5 video . Using my sek800i . OM 6.5 it cant do on OM 6.1

  • Thu WinFriday, November 4, 2011 5:59:02 PM

    @Aye, I think the embedding for blogs is done differently than what is done in ChooseOpera. I too can see the YouTube video in this post but not personal blogs.

    The charismatic Bruce Lawson and his peculiar way to explain us about web standards, I really like his style. :up:

    Their handy tip was useful :lol:

    MyOpera currently doesn't support regular old HTML4 for security reasons. BBcode either. This only applies to profile pages, but is already causing people to link offsite to their profiles elsewhere due to the measures taken to stop spamming.

    (Some) HTML and BBcode were reapplied to the profile pages due to popular demand. They should now support the same styling as blog posts do!

  • Thu WinSaturday, November 5, 2011 9:29:03 PM

    I tend to style my blog posts using html as it looks better in RSS. Hope you don't remove html for blogs as if you do, my blog will look a huge mess.
