Hello,

I have an iframe in my project that has an image as a source. Then when a user click on a link from a list, it loads videos in html form.  
The videos are external so I can’t edit them.

Problem is that when the image is loaded, rest of the iframe background is white.  
I tried to make the image fit the iframe size, but there is white left, I suppose it’s the html margin of the external videos?

So to fix it I just created a css that hides the iframe if it’s internet explorer until a video link is clicked, but is there a better method(to maybe be able to display the image on the start)? :crazy:
