    I have all the right markup in place for my video

    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ga35H5TwRtk" rel="shadowbox">You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling</a>

    but when I click the link, a download starts and I get a Popup window (with a YouTube logo)that says, "An error has occured, please try again later."

    Any ideas? I'd really like to see this work. Otherwise, I'm really pleased with this plugin.

    1) I need a link to your site in order to test and see for myself.

    2) You usually get a download when trying to open a youtube video by link if you do not have the adobe flash player installed.

    @timwmedia:

    From the FAQ for the plugin:

    When I click on my YouTube links I see the full YouTube web site and not just my video or nothing at all. What is wrong?

    You have probably used the wrong form of the YouTube URL. If you used something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3kFn_3xRY that will disaply the YouTube website and not just the video or nothing at all. To just get the video use a link that looks like http://www.youtube.com/v/3D3kFn_3xRY.

    I am using the proper syntax on my site but it just pops up the full page version of the video and not the vidbox at all. This works in newest version of Chrome & Opera, but not older versions. Also this doesnt work in IE7&8 at all.
