Javascript iframe bug?

[jverrone3]

I was having an issue displaying an iframe in the viewer. Is there a bug in calibre that is preventing the iframe from functioning? I was able to show a div the contains text and an iframe, but the iframe content is blank and does not function properly.

The calibre viewer uses WebKit, so I highly doubt there is a bug in iframe support. But, since you haven't provided an example, it is impossible to say with any certainty.

function addVideoFrame()
{
    var style_css = "\
    .no_display { \
        display : none; \
    } \
    \
    .SSvideo { \
        z-index: 1; \
        padding: 5px; \
        background-color: black; \
        position: fixed; \
        top: 0%; \
    }";
    $("head").append("<style>" + style_css + "</style>");

    var frame_html = "<div id = 'video_frame' class = 'SSvideo no_display'> \
        <h3 id = 'frame_title' style = 'color: white;'></h3> \
        <iframe src= 'http://www.youtube.com/v/DFl9o-e05is?autoplay=1' width = 350px  height = 350px style ='display: block; margin: auto'> </iframe> \
        </div>";
    $("body").append(frame_html);
}

This is the javascript function that gets called on a right click in the viewer. The div shows up and we can see text that is inserted into the H3 tags, but the iframe will not show any content (we have tried static websites, etc.).

The viewer has no support for video playback, so that is not going to work, regardless of any iframe issues.
