I've been trying to play YouTube videos in a Fancybox pop out. It works perfectly in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but in IE it doesn't display. It will pop out the Fancybox but the video won't display. It only shows [X] (red X in red box).
It's not because of the code difference in IE and the other browsers that it's not working. IE does not always support the non-standard embed tag, which the other browser do support. For the whole story about this please read this article on alistapart: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed/
Is it any specific version of IE it is not working in? I've just tried watching the videos in IE8. Seems to be working fine?

Hi JV
Did you find a solution for this or did you decide to try another path?

Hi Jan
I've found a solution that works now. I updated the js files to the latest Fancybox js files.
The major change was to the FancyBoxInit . js file:
This enabled to the YouTube video's to pop out in the Fancybox.
