Hi there

Tried embedding two hands from handviewer today but showed up blank
Thought maybe I had forgotten the syntax but checked a few old threads and previously functioning hands going back a long time have now lost all their cards
Would hate for people to think I have been posting blank hands for years - although other people have interacted with them so hopefully I am not going crazy
Can anyone advise on the change in syntax please - I have noticed many people have started using tiny url rather than embedding - will start doing the same
Not sure if I have time to fix every old hand I ever posted though

thanks
P

The hands on my blog are still functioning fine so I don't think it has changed.

The last big change that I noticed was that you needed to use https:// instead of http:// within

The documentation has never been changed to reflect this.

For example, the last hand I created used

<iframe height="350px" src="https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?w=saqj975hj2daq93ca&amp;d=s&amp;v=b&amp;a=1h1s3h5sp?" width="200px"></iframe>

This is probably a browser security thing, not something we're doing. If the main page is loaded with HTTPS, it has to use HTTPS for embedded content.

We made some fixes a couple of months ago to prevent cross-site scripting exploits from the annotations feature of handviewer. It's possible they had unexpected side effects.

Can you give an example of a handviewer URL you tried?
