Supplying an embedable PDF - html

What I would like to do is supply some embed code for a PDF hosted on my website. The purpose is to allow anyone to take this code and slap it on their website ... pretty much exactly like YouTube videos or any other embedable content.
I've seen all forms of code, ranging from EMBED, OBJECT, IFRAME ...
Is is just a case of changing this sample YouTube code to point to my file:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oRdxUFDoQe0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.domain.com/embed/myfile.pdf" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
What method is the best and most accurate?

My favorite is google docs, extremely reliable and flexible:
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
replace the url=... with your pdf url

How to reformat a video so it can be seen in an html webpage using <iframe>?

I am using the tag and some youtube videos show up but the specific video I want isn't in the correct format.
This is the tag with a random video (is working).
<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XGSy3_Czz8k">
</iframe>
This is with the video I want (not working).
<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fJEFi3ccwI">
</iframe>
Can someone please help me reformat?
I wonder if you simply mean re-format the video URL?
Try as :
<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9fJEFi3ccwI">
</iframe>
Let me know if this works how you wanted?

Embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo, etc

I want to embed videos on my site, but I don't want to keep videos on my server. I want something like an iframe, but I want to be capable to use links from any source, not just from youtube or vimeo. What can I do?
<iframe width="560" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FM7MFYoylVs?enablejsapi=1&playsinline=1&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen id="video"></iframe>
Here is what i've tried but that's not what I need.:(
I think iframe should be your best choice, But as iframe is not what you need , you can also have a look at object
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W7qWa52k-nE"
width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<object data="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W7qWa52k-nE"
width="560" height="315"></object>
<object data="http://player.vimeo.com/video/214414572"
width="561" height="316" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen
allowFullScreen></object>
</body>
</html>
support to vimeo videos depents on the target as vimeo videos are flash. so if you display a vimeo video using iframe or object then as long as device is supported, it will show the video
It is possible to have your own iframe and then embed the required iframe or src as required.
So you would have a MASTER iframe that when loaded will hold the youtube iframe inside. And you can do the same with each option that you are requiring. Just set your iframe size to match the others.

html : iframe not showing content in html

I want to show a youtube video in html 4. For that, I am using iframe. But the content of iframe is not showing.
<iframe frameborder="1" width="420" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8kSrkz8Hz8"></iframe>
FYI: I am using Firefox 29.0 and Chrome 35.0. Both browsers are showing the same result.
Change your src with //www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8
your code shoud look like this
<iframe frameborder="1" width="420" height="345" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8"></iframe>
Find code under each video on youtoube at Share menu.
When you try to put the whole YouTube page into an iframe, it sends a HTTP header called X-Frame-Options with the SAMEORIGIN value, which tells the browser, that the page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
You should use the provided embed code (you can find it below every YouTube video), which is also an iframe, but with a different URL. It will only show the player.
In this case, the embed code would be:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
replace you Iframe with this one. this works for you.
<iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
missing attributes are: frameborder="0", allowfullscreen
You should change the youtube URL to remove the "s" so it looks like this:
<iframe width="420" height="345" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8" frameborder="1" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You should also be able to embed a youtube video from the page. Please see the screenshot attached:
I tried it this way and worked for me. Changing your src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C8kSrkz8Hz8"
following the other parameters.

Youtube embed code does not work in html for firefox

I'm brand new to HTML and trying to develop some basic skills and build a knowledge base by writing example pages. I copy and paste the default youtube embed code and paste it in my code. If I use the old code, I get a big white box. The new code yields a box containing dialog which states that firefox could not find the page. Chrome loads the object with no issues. Here is the code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OIDnYMODZAQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Try using http instead of https
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OIDnYMODZAQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Can I VEVO video embed autoplay?

I have searched high and low for any VEVO documentation, but there does not seems to be some.
Can VEVO video embeds be instructed to autoplay?
I have guessed several parameters like the one below.
<iframe width="575" height="324" src="http://cache.vevo.com/m/html/embed.html?video=GBA320903400" frameborder="0" autoplay="1" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I believe this is possible by adding "&autoplay=1" to the iframe URL.
<iframe width="575" height="324" src="http://cache.vevo.com/m/html/embed.html?video=GBA320903400&autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
you can iframe the embed player url, utm content none will hide the vevo logo and skip the ads showing in the player embed code.
now you will need to find the autostop enable...
<iframe width='480' height='270' src='http://www.vevo.com/watch/GBA320903400?utm_medium=embed_player&utm_content=none' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen scrolling='No'></iframe>
