youtube iFrame is blank

Question

So, when I try to run this on my demo site, this is just a blank spot in my webpage. It is not showing youtube or any site I connect it to.

<iframe width="640" height="1400" frameborder="0" 
src="http://www.youtube.com/" name="iFrameSearch">
</iframe>

Is there a way to get this working without using the Youtube API? I would strongly prefer not to use the API quite yet.

You code works fine in my chrome. What browser are you using? — SaturnsEye, Sep 05 '13 at 10:04
I am using chrome as well. I also forgot to list another part of important information! I am using this to show search data. Basically, I have a search bar that is supposed to look on youtube and display the results in the iFrame I am having a problem displaying. — , Sep 05 '13 at 10:17
There's your problem then. Post all of the relevant code or create a JSFiddle — SaturnsEye, Sep 05 '13 at 10:23

I never found a solution for it, I just ended up creating my own database of video links. — , May 15 '14 at 18:50

I encountered this problem today, and my problem was HTTP vs HTTPS.

If your page is HTTPS, it will not load the iFrame if it is referencing a un-secure, HTTP site.

Try changing your iFrame to always be HTTPS.

You can try this instead, works very well for me.

Sadly, an embedding will not work with what I am trying to achieve. I updated the issue with more details, because I realized I wasn't as specific as I should have been, my apologies. – Sep 05 '13 at 10:23
