if you click Yaohoo's placeholder
Ah, there is the problem.

When I load the page, I see the "spinner" & never clicked anything.
Instead I went to the Blocked Objects menu, Allowed shockwave-flash@http://l.yimg.com.
Then refreshed the page.

With that, it works.


If I "click" Yahoo's "placeholder" first (at that point, the Blocked Object menu disappears) , then on the next click I'll get the ClearClick warning & then the clip will not play.

The only work around is using the "Blocked objects" submenu in order to allow *@http://l.ytimg.com.
Also a compulsory page refresh is required as therube says.

@Giorgio,
If in a way NS could sense that it is hidden by another placeholder could it post a warning , so that the user may know what to do next? The clickjack phenomenon will be available? even the first time the user clicks at a "hidden" NS placeholder.
In this method it appears unless you give a full *@http://l.ytimg.com. permission to the site it is not going to work.
Once the router thru placeholder is taken how to get back the *@http://l.ytimg.com again? Revoke temporary permissions?

What if you give permission to the one that you can see, refresh the page, then check the Blocked Objects submenu again?

Yes, that's probably the best way.
