So, when I try to run this on my demo site, this is just a blank spot in my webpage. It is not showing youtube or any site I connect it to.

<iframe width="640" height="1400" frameborder="0" 
src="/" name="iFrameSearch">
</iframe>

Is there a way to get this working without using the Youtube API? I would strongly prefer not to use the API quite yet.

• You code works fine in my chrome. What browser are you using? – SaturnsEye Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 10:04
• I am using chrome as well. I also forgot to list another part of important information! I am using this to show search data. Basically, I have a search bar that is supposed to look on youtube and display the results in the iFrame I am having a problem displaying. – user1814333 Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 10:17
• There's your problem then. Post all of the relevant code or create a JSFiddle – SaturnsEye Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 10:23
• 1 add X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN in your header. – Chinmay235 Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 10:26

I encountered this problem today, and my problem was HTTP vs HTTPS.

If your page is HTTPS, it will not load the iFrame if it is referencing a un-secure, HTTP site.

Try changing your iFrame to always be HTTPS.

See Insecure content in iframe on secure page for more info.

<iframe width="640" height="1400" frameborder="0" 
src="https://www.youtube./" name="iFrameSearch">
</iframe>

You can try this instead, works very well for me.
