2,183 PointsOld embed code not working
I followed the instructions to embed the "Charlie" video from youtube, but it won't show up when I refresh my web page. Is this a browser issue? Could the code be wrong? Help please - I'm a bit out of my depth here!

Protocol-less URLs don't work without a web server, so in that case just add http: in front of the URL.
>The main caveat to keep in mind when using the protocol-less reference is that it will fail on pages loaded via file:/// (i.e. HTML pages you load directly from disk to your browser). So, do be sure to include the http: protocol in the URL if you happen to be developing without a web server at all, but don’t worry about omitting it otherwise.source: http://encosia.com/3-reasons-why-you-should-let-google-host-jquery-for-you/
