Submit a Video Problem

For some reason I'm seeing a blank page when I click on the "submit a video" link from the front page as well as my profile. I have one slot open for submitting a video. Anyone else seeing a blank window?

Not working for me - I can fill out the submit form, but when I click "Submit Video" on the confirmation page, it just takes me back to the submit form, claiming invalid entry. But it doesn't indicate what field is invalid. I assume the embed code, but what's wrong with this?

<param name="movie" value="http://www.videojug.com/film/player?id=cf11b441-d6d2-b6f1-5b72-ff0008c9b930>

To be clear, the embedded video works just fine on the confirmation page.

[update] - If I click "Validate Embed Code", the embed is reported as ok, and promptly deleted and replaced with:

Sweet, that got it - thanks! I wonder why the original embed code didn't work though. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything different than I did for any other video I've posted.

The problem is with the embed code. Is that how exactly what you copied from VideoJug, jonny? Take a closer look at the first tag:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.videojug.com/film/player?id=cf11b441-d6d2-b6f1-5b72-ff0008c9b930>

Notice that the "value" attribute has an opening, but not a closing quotation mark. This causes the entire block of code to be parsed incorrectly, basically wiping it out. Stick the missing quote in and it should work just keen.

I suggest including both the and tags because they're both included to insure all browsers are able to render the video.

It was a copy/paste from straight from videojug. Good eyes - I looked at that at least a half dozen times.

Thanks for the tip about the tag as well - I had another vid from videojug posted without it. I went back to videojug to just copy the entire embed code, and that video was missing the trailing quote in the "movie" param as well.
