Big space below embedded video

It possibly a CSS issue, in which case you’d need to post a site url. I’d get rid of the outdated <center></center> tags in the markup, though.

Thanks esmi, you’re always there when I need you.

<div align=”center”><img src=”file:///C|/Users/Public/Documents/websites/paintingsandlove/images/my-pic.jpg” width=”93″ height=”93″ /></div>

Similar to the above?

It’s primarily a markup problem. Your object parameters are way too big. I estimate that the video is only about 332px by 255px but in the markup it’s set to 446px by 326px.

Actually I had to go the opposite way, I think.

I tried reducing the sizes and it didn’t help.

Then I put the original ted.com embed code here on my site and now it looks fine.

Do you prefer the code here, or at Pastie?

I originally reduced the sizes because I thought the original size was too big.

What is interesting is that I believe that WordPress is automatically resizing the vid now.

Is it?

Any pastebin is preferable for larger chunks of code than here, thanks.

It does look like the video has been resized but, unfortunately, it’s not being displayed at all in Firefox 3.6.3 (it was accessible before), so I can’t check on if/how it’s being resized very easily.

Strange, (or perhaps not ?? because I can see it in FF 3.6.3 // IE8 and Chrome.

Maybe my host is slow right now?

It might be some sort of Flash server problem. I use a Flashblock add-on in FF – which means I have to click the default “No Flash” box to see individual Flash presentations. It normally works just fine (and I’ve just re-tested it successfully on the Adobe site) and I was able to see the video a couple of hours ago but now I just get a great big empty space and a “Movie Not Loaded” on right-click.

Using IE8’s very inferior tools, I can’t see any evidence of the video being resized by the browser or via CSS. So whatever it was, it seems to have been fixed.
