Thread: My Slide Show Is No Longer Working On My "All About Me" Page???

  1. #1

    Default My Slide Show Is No Longer Working On My "All About Me" Page???

    Hello Ebid family!!! I haven't posted here in a while and I had been away from my "All About Me" page https://www.ebid.net/us/users/Miller.../all-about-me/ for about a month or so. I notice that the slideshow that I had been running on my page was gone. I checked my, Kizoa page which is where I create my slideshows here and everything seems to be working very well on Kizoa. I checked my flash player and it is working okay, so I am wondering whether or not Ebid is still allowing sellers to run slideshows here or is there something else that could be wrong. I know the code is embedded but it is not working on my, "All About Me" page.

    Could someone here help me with this Thanks!

    Not familiar with slide shows at all. Perhaps you should ask support@ebid.net

    I would hazard a guess that it's because it's in an iframe.This is a post from a thread in 2010.The member is sadly deceased now:-

I suspect that eBid will have a similar policy when it comes to their use.
    Probably best to build one that doesn't use an iframe.

    Yes, it is an iframe. As Damian pointed out, these are potential routes for cross-site scripting attacks (aka XSS).

    Make an animated gif instead.

    I don't use iframes when I can avoid it. I have to use them for embedding presentations that I have uploaded to www.slideshare.com, but though I use that for work, I have not got round to a movie or presentation on Ebid. I would probably figure out something indirect, like iframe in an object, if I wanted a presentation on my Ebid listing.

    Thanks All for your helpful comments and suggestions! I had been running the iframe slide show here on Ebid for at least a year 1/2. I used to use this same slide show frame on other sites and had no problem but maybe Ebid caught up with the iframe slide show that I had displayed and took it down.

    I am going to see what I can do with the two webpages that you guys suggested in this post. I just don't like having a plain old page, I do like to have a little action on my All About Me page !!! I will remove the large empty space until I have time to look into the links and hopefully, I will be able to bring back a little zessst into my page and I will come back and let you all know how it worked out for me. Thanks again !!!
