"Cross-Origin Request Blocked" issue

    I am attempting to load some videos using Fancybox, but I keep getting a “Cross-Origin Request Blocked” error. I thought that it might be the videos themselves, but I am getting it when attempting to load any external resource into Fancybox:

    Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

    I tried editing the fancybox.php file to add this parameter to the call:

    'crossDomain': true

    But it did not help any. Suggestions?

    Thanks.

    I just tested, by the way, and using Fancybox on it’s own (ie. not through the plugin) on a test html page, on the same domain, works fine. It has something to do with the plugin’s implementation, not with Fancybox or either domain involved.

    I got it to work by adding the following to the “Extra Calls” tab:

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 jQuery(".vimeo").fancybox({
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  type: 'iframe',
  fitToView : false
 });
});

    And then adding the class “vimeo” to the link. Is there a reason this doesn’t work out of the box? Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think CrossDomain is not a recognized setting in FancyBox, but as you mentioned iframe should work fine for something like video embedding, glad to hear it worked in the end!
