Issues Viewing Cnn Video

I did some researching, and the IE/QT problem seems to be one of long-standing. IE version 5.5 thru 6 have some issues with QT. This can be worked around if the developer of a web page generates the right code. (Which is why sometimes you don't have this problem.) I'm not sure, but I suspect that embedding video may be new ground for the very hard-working, good folks at Celiac Central.

Meanwhile, a quick fix for everyone individually is to download and install Firefox. It's a free web browser.

Firefox download instructions (step by step):

1- Go to this site:

Open Original Shared Link

and click to download Firefox

2- Save Firefox Setup 2.0. exe to your desktop (so you can easily find it)

3- Once the download is complete, double-click the Firefox Setup.exe file to install the program. Just click next, next, ok,....or whatever. The installation suggestions it offers are perfectly acceptable.

4- When the program has installed, you'll have a new orange and blue Mozilla Firefox icon...that's the program. You may now drag the "Firefox Setup.exe" file to the trash. (Think of the .exe file as the packaging the program came in. When the program is installed you won't need its packaging any more).

5- Open the Firefox program. It will feel and look a little different than Internet Explorer but it works the same. Type the Celiac Central address into the address bar. Now when you click on the video links, you'll get the video as it was intended to look.

FYI: A lot of people prefer Firefox in general to IE. It's an apples and oranges thing, so you decide.

Once you install Firefox you can continue to use Internet Explorer anytime you want. It's perfectly fine to have 2 different web browsers installed on your computer. I do, and sometimes have them both open at the same time....np

The problem people are having viewing the CNN video from the Celiac Central website is NOT just related to Internet Explorer 7. I have Internet Explorer 6 and get the same partial video. For those anxious to see the video, try using Firefox (see above). It's been proven to work because I use it primarily, Nini uses it, Gamecreature uses it and all have watched the video with no problems.

If anyone other than Firefox users are able to view the video as it is intended I am interested in what browser you are using and what version of that browser.

Please let's move that video/browser technical discussion here and keep Judy's thread about the great CNN publicity on track.

Thanks jaten! I, like Patti, am technically challenged but Firefox was easy to download and save to my desktop. Now I can see the whole screen. I think it's odd that I can view other things on that site with full screen but they are in another format than the CCN clips.

GREAT! I'm glad that worked for you. It is easy to do, and hopefully others who may feel intimidated trying will now realize it really is just a few quick steps....taaadaaaaa!

Yes, if the other videos on that site are in some other format then probably they are opening in Windows Media Player or something. QuickTime is the only player I know of that has this issue with IE. (There is an alternative to QuickTime, but it's more straightforward just to download a different browser.)

Jaten,

Thanks for posting the Foxfire information. I'm now able to watch the show. :):):)

For Mac OSX users, IE is a problem and always has been. Microsoft has stopped making and supporting it for Mac anyway so it doesn't really matter. :rolleyes:

Safari and Firefox both work well on a Mac as does QuickTime...I had no troubles viewing the videos in Safari 2.0.4 Firefox is apparently a good browser across all platforms.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Thanks! I don't think it was a total IGA test, it was called "Array 3X - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity" and it tested a bunch of wheat proteins and transglutaminase for both IgG and IGAs.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing. Dermatitis herpetiformis...

      False tTG3 Test?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting. Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms. Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too. I had palpitations that only resolved with thiamine Vitamin B 1 supplementation. Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded...

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing.  Dermatitis herpetiformis is the epidermal expression of celiac disease. Most who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage happening to the small bowel lining as well but a small percentage do not. But dermatitis herpetiformis has a characteristic appearance to it, with the rash bumps having pustules in the center. It is also accompanied by a very uncomfortable itch. From what you describe, your rash doesn't sound like dermatitis herpetiformis. The IGG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they aren't terrible either. This may be helpful:

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I still have hives, I've been gluten free (although I have no reation to gluten when I accidentally have it), and I've been doing research to try and figure out what is wrong. I've heard that those initial igg tests are unreliable, and that maybe gluten isn't the issue, but from what I've read it sounds like the Transglutaminase tests are very reliable? I'm wondering if I somehow got a false positive, because I definitely don't have dermatitis herpetiformis or any typical celiac rashes. Has anyone had a similar experience?

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott said.   Prayers and Best Wishes sent.  Keep us posted on your progress!
