    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here:

    [HTML]<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Videos test</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    #vidcontainer{
    width:600px;
    height:450px;
    float:left;
    margin-left:15px;
    border-style:groove
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/-slyeyhwE68?rel=0&wmode=transparent&autoplay=1&quot; target="vidcontainer">Father Ted</a>
    <br/>
    <a href="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7xnNhzgcWTk?rel=0&wmode=transparent&autoplay=1&quot; target="vidcontainer">Fawlty Towers</a>
    <hr/>
    <iframe id="vidcontainer"></iframe>
    </body>
    </html>
    [/HTML]

    I've reduced the code to the above in an effort to debug - basically I want an iframe that displays a youtube vid based on the link that is clicked outside of the iframe - hence the "target=" bit.

    It works fine in chrome not in FF / IE and I'm not sure why.

    Chrome throws this exception but still works:
    Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL file:*path*/test.html from frame with URL http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/-slyeyhwE68?rel=0&wmode=transparent&autoplay=1. Domains, protocols and ports must match.

    FF & IE both open the link as if I'd specified target="_blank"

    Do I have to create individual html pages on the same domain with the vids embedded in them and then point the iframe to them for this approach to work?

    Doh..:o

    Bloody Chrome and it's ability to self-fix obvious code errors without telling you...

    Cheers for that.
