On performing a W3C validation, I am getting the error " The frameborder attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead." on each AllVideos {youtube} coding.

Is there anyway to simply remove the 'frameborder' setting complete as well as to add the ability to insert a 'class' or 'id' in the {youtube}{/youtube} code, ie: {youtube}2ASnEfU7bx8|400|250|0|class=myyoutubevideo{/youtube} so that it would generate an iframe like this:

Hi. AllVideos is using the embed code that YouTube provides. If you want to change it you need to hack the file plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php. However i suggest to not modify the file. Google has a reason it's still using this attribute in their embed code.

I guess if you have clients that require 100% validation, Allvideos is to be used only for non-YouTube videos since you are using the YouTube embedded code. You should alter the code to change all 'width=', 'height=' and 'frameborder=0' to 'style="width: WIDTHpx;height:HEIGHTpx;border:none;". After all, this is the proper way to code it. :)

@Luke Douglas

I already explained to you the reasons we are using the official embed code. Since you insist, why you don't try to contact Google and tell them that their code is not valid and they should change it?

Lefteris,

I have posted this on the YouTube technical issues group but, as you may know, Google really doesn't pay attention to anyone recommendations very much as they are the pinnacle of intelligence. LOL I can say this with all honesty as I have been making recommendations to them for well over 10 years and, so far, none of my recommendations have ever been implemented. I can only assume that I'm the class dunce. :)

I cannot know about your other recommendations, but regarding this i am pretty sure that they are using this attribute to ensure compatibility with older browsers.

Lefteris,

That isn't a valid argument as all browsers support the style declarations that I recommended. Hopefully, someone at Google will see my post and think it has enough merit to forward to their YouTube development team.
