JavaScript Error Encountered While Loading HTML

[sandij812]

I am trying to embed a video via url link. After entering the embed code (<iframe width="450" height="320" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vUEPJw1XSvk" frameborder="0" ></iframe>) a javascript error pops up. I've tried everything I can think of and looked online for any fixes that may be out there.

I've tried both the 'insert html' and 'video from url' methods. When trying the video from url it wouldn't accept the url because it is saying it needs to start with http:// and end with a valid video file extension ... which neither is true for me -- https://youtu.be/vUEPJw1XSvk 

Anybody have any ideas please?

What version of InDesign? What O/S?

There was a bug a while back IIRC and it was safe to just ignore the error.

Hi Bob - I am using InDesign CC (PC ... not MAC) and Windows 7 Professional. It doesn't let me ignore the error ... when the pop up comes up if I just ignore it, it tells me I have an inaccessible link when I'm converting to interactive PDF and it just shows a black box that doesn't do anything. Any thoughts?

Inserting HTML is not supported with PDF.

I don't know about InDesign, but you can add video links using Acrobat. But it must be a link to a video file. On a media server. Youtube links are NEITHER of these. It's a full service video playing site, not a site for hosting movies for use in your PDFs.
