I've just entered the full link provided by Alfred into a custom playlist 5 times. Each one plays in preview but displays in webplus as in your image.
Check that your videos are entered in the same format especially the https: at the begining of the link. If it says just http:, change it and preview to determine if that was the error.
WebEx? Do you mean WebPlus?
with Milo safely in his pouch

I think Kip was really Katy!
Good spot. 
A fable written by Grok on X
write a fable about a mouse, an elephant and a kangaroo
Once upon a time, in a vast and vibrant forest, there lived a tiny mouse named Milo, an enormous elephant called Elara, and a bouncy kangaroo known as Kip. Each of them had their unique way of navigating the forest's challenges, but none knew of the others until one day, fate brought them together.
Milo the mouse was quick and clever, adept at scurrying through the underbrush to find food. One day, while searching for seeds, he accidentally ventured too far and found himself at the edge of a deep, dark ravine. His small size and quick wit had always served him well, but here, he was trapped, unable to jump or climb back.
Elara the elephant, with her great size and strength, was crossing the forest when she heard Milo's faint squeaks for help. Elara peered over the edge of the ravine, her large eyes spotting the tiny mouse. With her trunk, she gently lowered a strong branch, offering Milo a way out. But as Milo climbed, the branch began to snap under his weight, and he tumbled back down.
Kip the kangaroo, who was hopping nearby, heard the commotion. Known for his agility and long, powerful legs, Kip leapt over to the ravine. He saw Elara's dilemma and quickly thought of a plan. Using his strong hind legs, Kip jumped down to where Milo was, then with a mighty leap, he bounced back up with Milo safely in his pouch.
Once back on solid ground, the trio sat down to rest. Milo, grateful but curious, asked, "Why did you help me when I'm so small and you both are so grand?"
Elara chuckled, her voice deep and warm, "Size doesn't matter when it comes to helping friends. I might be large, but I can't jump like Kip or scurry like you."
Kip nodded, adding, "And I can leap high, but I can't reach down deep like Elara, nor can I find the hidden paths you do, Milo."
Milo smiled, realizing that each of them had unique strengths that, when combined, could overcome even the toughest challenges. From that day forward, the mouse, the elephant, and the kangaroo formed an unlikely friendship. They worked together, helping each other and the other creatures of the forest, teaching everyone that no matter how different one might be, there's always a way to help and be helped.
And so, the moral of the fable is: Unity brings strength, and every creature, no matter how small or large, has something valuable to contribute. In diversity lies not only survival but also the joy of community.
Yes, there are. Chromium is free and open source, and its web page rendering code is also used by many other browsers (the main ones being Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave).
Thanks Alfred I'll try it.
You could also use a megamenu. I'm having to relearn how it works. When I crack it I'll post a demo.
See attached file, download and preview in a browser. Hover over navbar buttons. Instructions are included.

I’m sure you and I aren’t the only ones, Joe! Do you feel the same way about Chromium browsers generally, or is it specifically to do with Chrome’s nasty habit of ‘phoning home’ at every opportunity?
Hi Alfred, I just don't like google as a company who spy on everything you do, sell data and plague you with ads.
When you say chromium browsers generally, are there others besides google?
Try this. Paste the following into Body in an HTML Fragment. and set it to the sizes you enter in the code below
<object class="pdf"
data= "atlas01.pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width="800"
height="500">
</object>Make sure data= has the same name as your pdf file which you can load via Tools > Site Manager > File Manager > Add file.
I've tried it with Edge, Opera, Firefox and DuckduckGo and it works OK. I won't use Chrome so you will need to test it in that. Chrome prefers to use it's own viewer but see how it goes. The type="application/pdf" in the code may help.
Nothing that I know of as standard in WYSIWYG will do it. In that case if you have the code and files you can copy them and input into WYSIWYG. You can enter css and javascript by using insert > html. you can add external files via Site Manager.
Also enquire within the WYSIWYG WB forum

Hi Ali,
Nice to hear from you again.
I wouldn't bother trying to copy the code and integrate it into WYSIWYG web buidler. The program has lots of sliders which can be easily incorporated. They have a version of many of the common sliders, and there are others that you can download. All you need is your text and images.
Merry Christmas,
Joe
I've asked him to post his file on his next post on his other thread but seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Whats the point in trying to help someone who doesn't help themselves?
We are not getting anywhere. We need to see either a website or a copy of your webplus file. If you publish the file to disc and zip the folde, see if you can attach it to your next post. If not you could email it to me
Comming back to my first post above. You say it's displacing some of the text. Drag the frame containing the text off the page and preview. The text and image should be missing. If so, create a new text frame on the site but dont copy/paste the text from the original frame.
Can you give a link to your website?
Sad to hear. I remember him well.
Is the errant image on your master page?
Thanks - I appreciate it.
Well I of course know not to use capitals and spaces in PagePlus page filenames, but the 'add hyperlink - file - browse your hard disk' procedure invites you to choose a Windows file which can have them with no warning - are you saying this is a fatal error or just frowned on?
The file opens correctly in my Adobe Acrobat Reader (which is quite old) - I don't have the full version of Acrobat.
How do you explain that the file opens correctly from the PagePlus browser preview of the page?
It's not a fatal error, it's just not good practice. If you fix it, it removes a possible error.
Can you attach a copy of the pdf file to your next post and then I and possibly others can have a look and see if we can determine the issue?
Apologies - I thought 'I guess I shall have to convert them all to JPG's' implied resolved.
This is the page in question - but as you don't have the local file I can't see it is much help?
Clicking on Census Atlas in firefox gives me a damaged file error which is not repairable. See attached image.
Can you open the standalone version of the file in adobe? Check that you can view every page.
Another point. Your file name for the pdf and therefore the link to it, starts with a capital letter and contains spaces. the website html looks like this:
https://www.xenophon.org.uk/Copy%20of%20complete%20Atlas01.pdfWhich is not good practice. URL's can't contain spaces so they are replaced with %20. Use smallcase and rather than spaces insert _ or - so in effect, you have a continuous word.
In design view if you drag the text box off the page is the image on the page? If you then preview the page, is the image there?
You already have a pdf thread which is unresolved, and you did not answer the the last question put to you. Help works best when there is a two way dialogue. Also, why have you not provided a link to the website?
Hopefully Alfred will move this thread over to the original.

Dear All,
I usually generate my web pages in tables to have better control over the layout but have only just noticed that when I open the website, the text is not selectable in the web browser. Text in text boxes is selectable (therefore readable by accessibilty software).
Is there something I can do to make the text in the published tables selectable or will I have to go through my whole site re formatting it using text boxes.
I hope I have made my problem clear although I suspect I may not have done.
Any advice welcome.
Thank you.
Richard.
Website is belchford.org.uk
A number of your pages are images. Right click on some of them and you will see menu items about images. If you click on 'Open in a new tab' you will see the whole page. How have you saved them as images?
The attached image is how it looks when inspected.
Their is an option to add a file in File Manager BUT NOT a folder so I could updaye manually but that would be very tedious.
So two questions
)1) is there an option somewhere - I have looked and looked - which tells Webplus which files to add to File Manager when you
publish?2) If not is there anyway to add folders to File Manager rather than individual file at a time?
Sorry if I've been very long winded in my problem/question, just hope someone has the patience to read and understand!!
Thank you
Alan C
I might be missing something here but in the File Manager image you posted there is a button called New Folder. If you want a folder in the root, highlight the topmost item and click on New Folder. Give it a name, highlight it and click on Add File and add your images.

As it turns out these radiation alerts turned out to be nothing significant. These things were triggered back in the parts of the plant where the outer space deep science nuclear fuel research took place, and dweebs like myself didn't have a high enough clearance to get anywhere near these areas. Parts of the facility were much more spooky than others. Having said that, these alerts went out to all parts of the facility.
Regarding your training, your drill sergeant omitted one little detail: if you actually saw the burst flash, it likely was the last thing you would ever see even if you survived the experience. I kid thee not when I say I hate those goddamned things.
I have another tale regarding a guy I met who was a civilian working in Japan when the Japanese decided they wanted to mess up Pearl Harbor. I found his stories of life in Japan after that event and after Hiroshima and Nagasaki interesting. Again, I may have already told the tale. I can tell it again if anybody cares to hear it.
I'd like to hear it Robert. Thanks
