Is it possible to set a youtube video to a % of column width.
I tried a few different ways and all I seem to be able to do is set the width in pixels.
Thanks for the help,
All the best,
Jeff
A test from youtube using video:FT 001 - YouTube width:400
If you watch this turn the VOLUME DOWN first.
Trying width % video:FT 001 - YouTube width:90%
Gets me 90 pixels
Setting the width in % as you did in the Simple Post Editor does not work, also tried a max-width attribute to no avail.
Let me say I've always been using fixed resolutions for videos via the Advanced Post Editor. Any video's optimal resolution can be obtained selecting “Nerd statistics” in the drop down right click/long tap video window menu.
Just tried setting the video width in % in the Dimensions left, horizontal box, using the Advanced Post Editor. It actually works, albeit it will look garbled while editing and Preview gets broken. Here it is set at 70% width:
Well, the width porcentual parameter does not work with videos; the forum engine fails to actually detect the correct video parameters and set its height accordingly when used that way. My advice, thus, is to set an actual valid video resolution. Here it is at 854 × 480:
What happened to max-width? All of a sudden, if I use this syntax, it ignores the % I entered and just shows the image at 100%.
Not sure that it answers my question. There is something wonky going on when using the ‘max-width’ operator.
Like this?
Test
For some reason I get an error message when trying to insert an image into this thread using the image icon in Simple Post Editor quick reply box:
Firefox says:
Chrome says:
It would be helpful if you posted what you inserted. Perhaps leave off the < > delimiters so that the browser does not parse it as html.
I did not insert anything. These errors pop up the moment I try to click on the “Insert Image” icon.

Perhaps you can try a different browser, or the advanced editor:
As I mentioned before, this happens in both Firefox and Chrome, only in Simple Post Editor, and only in this thread. Any other thread - it works fine. Just found it very odd.
Does anyone else get the same error when trying Simple Post Editor in this thread?
Hmmm weird. Works for me (sorry, I hate that kind of answer from admins). Anybody else can confirm or deny this?
I get exactly the same error - Firefox
Thanks for reporting.
Dunno, it works for me in Chrome and Firefox. Please try clearing the browser cache or force-refreshing the page now that I made the CSS tweak mentioned before.
Tried it. Still same problem, and it happens on multiple PCs (Windows, Linux), and my Android phone.
It’s weird that it only happens in this one thread. Odd, but no biggie.
Cleared cache same problem - firefox and Crome
Browser version maybe? 
But only in this thread? 
Latest version in both browsers
Very weird indeed. Could be an extension interfering? It’s something to do with the Javascript on that page. Or maybe somebody inserted some Javascript in one of the posts that is messing with the editor. I guess it’s not a big deal as long as it’s just that one page.
