For example, BBC's page breaks when the link is added to the page

are you referring to the video breaking or the whole page? Trying to test this now and it seems like the video player goes black after opening in pipit

inickt commented 6 years ago

Just the video player. If you wanted to go back to the player and resume there it wouldn't work

its an iframe as well so i wonder if that has anything to do with it breaking as you navigate to a new link inside of the iframe? hmm

I could be wrong, but I thought we were adding the a tag to the original page so it shouldn't be effecting the contents inside of the iframe. Unless some weird loading thing is happening. Although the Adobe video in #2 is also in an iframe and doesn't have the same issue.
