IE operation aborted message followed by an error IE page

I think I narrowed it down. It happens with a Youtube video. Tried several others (e.g. Google Video) and it does not happen.

Big prob as I don't see any scripts loaded and so no way to play with the timing of their loading...

Having no response here, I finally managed to solve this obnoxious irritating bug after hours of useless inspections and trials.

In emfield\contrib\video_cck\providers\youtube.inc line 130 the <object> and <params> should be removed and only the <embed> tag should be left in case of YouTube (plus, a proper </embed> closing is missing).

i.e.,

Instead of

It should be:

Hope it will help others (Given the popularity of YouTube, I am surprised no one here has ever encountered this severe problem so far)

Hey,

someone reported the same issue on my site today. Tried to solve it the described way, but didn't work. And: It occurrs in IE7!

Look at this blog: http://www.einfach-trainieren.de/node/566

Works great in Firefox but not in IE7.

Hope someone can help me out of this. Thx

ekrispin: Thanks, your suggestion works for me, in IE6. Now for the IE7 tests...

I think that the following code is a bit better solution, as it works on every browser and doesn't rely on a deprecated html tag (i.e. the embed tag):

$output .= "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" height=\"$height\" width=\"$width\" data=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/$embed\" id=\"VideoPlayback\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/$embed\"><param name=\"allowScriptAcess\" value=\"sameDomain\"><param name=\"quality\" value=\"best\"><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\"><param name=\"scale\" value=\"noScale\"><param name=\"salign\" value=\"TL\"><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"playerMode=embedded\" /></object>";

This solution was found via A List Apart and has been tested on Firefox and IE versions 5.5, 6 & 7...

I've included the updated YouTube.inc file so those who want to can just drop it in to your video_cck/contrib folder.

Alex AU this seems to have fixed it for me! Thanks!

My error was occuring in IE7

Error occurred in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, drop-in youtube.inc fixed it, but I'm reopening this issue because it isn't yet committed into the dev release.

this was closed before i was able to apply the patch. will do so this week.

thanks,
aaron

help

the error is still not fixed..I opened the issue again

thanks

I just checked the source of your site and you are not using the youtube.inc file linked here, as it clearly is still using the embed tag (see the fix above). Please update your youtube.inc again (try the above file first), or try updating your entire Embedded Media Field module. If that doesn't work than you have another issue...

i did update the whole module. however i will try again.
should i delete the old videos and upload new ones. or the code will be changed automatically ?
thank you so much

abqaria,

Most probably, the issue is that the nodes are displaying a cached version. If so, you need to clear your cache (and make sure that cron is running). If you don't know how to do that, one way is by following the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/152983. To make sure cron is running, follow the directions at http://drupal.org/cron.

If that doesn't work, then please examine the $Id line of youtube.in (probably in /sites/all/modules/emfield/contrib/video_cck/providers). it should read as follows (or a later version than 1.10).

// $Id: youtube.inc,v 1.10 2008/01/04 21:20:09 aaron Exp $

If not, then you have the incorrect version of the module. Your nodes will be changed properly once you update the module.

Otherwise, there is some other problem. (Perhaps the field is overridden in a custom tpl file in the theme directory?)

Let me know if any of this solves your problem. Feel free to reopen the issue if none of this works.

Thanks,
Aaron Winborn

I did everything but still i get the error:

I deleted the embed module
I uploaded the newest module with all its content
I cleared the cach
ran the cron
disabled performance module
cleared history and temporary files

i get the error on the IE on pages that have videos

please help

abqaria-

I just uploaded the newest version of emfield onto one of my sites. When I look at the source of a page with a youtube video on it I see the following code:

When I look at your site I see the following:

Note all of the differences between these two (most notably the fact that the deprecated tag is still present). I'm not sure why your site is having problems updating this field, but if you send me a private message through my Drupal account I'll try to help you troubleshoot the problem.

it does not relate to embed media

i have another site that does not use embed media and gives the same error on IE on displaying a youtube code shown in a block

http://www.tagnsniff.com

but i do not know how to solve it

i disabled the javascript tools .dev and it worked

sorry for everyone

just incase if someone has the following IE problems with Fivestar rating and or Community Tags while using Emfield module:

- Fivestar rating: although javascript is enabled, i don't see any stars
- Community Tags: Instead of the textfield and a ADD button, a SAVE button appears

These two problems were caused by the youtube.inc of Emfield module. With the latest fix, these have been resolved :) Thanks.

This bug is not just in the youetube part. I only use embeded image, but if the code include tag in the body, it will cause operation aborted in the IE7.

you are right, it is javascipt tools problems. I disable it and every thing is ok.

still the problem exist when enabling the latest version of javascript tools the youtube videos do not work, any idea why ?

My guess on the above FWIW is that this is an incompatibility between jstools .js and the asset's javascript: for instance it looks like jstools and swflashobject.js requires and addition of a "defer" tag. No time to test tonight...
