I am trying to embed the following in a content page:

<iframe style="background-color:transparent;" scrolling="no" border="0" width="500" height="525" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" src="http://production.theyeshiva.net/item/1165/embed/minimal"></iframe>

I am pasting it in the HTML mode of a page. For some reason it's not working in canvas. I tried it in another LMS and it does work. Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm not an iframe expert, but I'm pretty sure the problem is that the URL isn't https.

I tried it in Canvas as is and couldn't get anything to come up until I clicked on the shield to the left of the address bar (in Firefox) and allowed permission. I think this has to do with mixing unsecured (http - your URL) and secured (https - Canvas) pages. See the second paragraph of this guide - How do I embed a lesson inside a Canvas course?

I'm not sure if there's anything else you can do to get this content to load automatically without clicking the shield or using a https URL. Hopefully someone else with more information can chime in and let us know!
