busted footer

  • It seems when i add media, like youtube to my page ( when full width) it seems to break my footer and wraps one of my links to the left, can anybody help me know why. For instance, check out the footer on https://justinandrachel.com/our-first-date/ (cheezy, i know). All the other pages look fine. I also have an unpublished Flickr slideshow page (full width) that is doing the same thing. Thanks for the help.

  • It looks like your youtube embed code has a few problems. You will probably need to go into html view to fix this. Below is the code I found:

    <div align="center">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="510" height="350" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="src" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/jaSVUJhDr_A&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="510" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/jaSVUJhDr_A&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
</embed></object></p>

    I think the problem is that the ‘<div align=”center”>’ doesn’t have a corresponding</div> after the embed code. Also you have a ‘</p>’ at the end of the embed code but you don’t have a ‘<p>’ at the start of the embed. I think it’s no closing the center div that’s causing the problem.

    I would modify the last line to be like this: ‘allowfullscreen=”true”></embed></object></div>’

    If you’re not creating your own embed codes, it might be a bug in the “Viper’s Video Quicktags” plugin your using. Have you tried using oEmbed, which just allows you to drop in a Youtube URL?

    cool, that was the trick, </div>, i am thankful as i am still learning this stuff. I knew it would be easy. Thanks for the response. I have not used Viper’s Video Quicktags, i have it installed but the youtube video was done with pure html. Thanks again.

    No problem, I’m glad it helped.
