Hi, I have requirement to embed youtube video on the webpage. When I embed the video with with <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XGSy3_Czz8k"> </iframe> It works absolutely fine. But, when I try the same with <object width="420" height="315" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGSy3_Czz8k"></object> This does not work and it shows message as "A plugin is needed to display". How should we fix this?

Testing on Firefox 37.0.1 on windows 7.

Thanks, Amit

What is interesting is that in version 38 I can only get it to work when the frameboarder is specified:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XGSy3_Czz8k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


However in 37.0.1 I have the same results:

I see a tech evangelism bug that mentions if they allow mixed content that they display this fine, however there is not mixed content warning, so I am wondering if its a different issue.

Then it works perfectly in w3schools. I am asking for help.


Found it, so the object embedded method was deprecated in Jan.
