How to embed (almost) any document to HTML?

HTML/Javascript help prease D:?

• I have the following code written into a html document: " <script type="text/javascript"> var Video; function Video1() { Video = "*Youtube Embed Link Here*"; var oEmbed = document.getElementById("vidPlayer"); oEmbed.setAttribute("src", Video); } function Video2() { Video = "*Youtube Embed Link Here*"; var oEmbed = document.getElementById("vidPlayer"); oEmbed.setAttribute("src", Video); } </script> " In the head section; and... " <a onclick="Video1()" href="#Video">Video1</a> <br/> <a onclick="Video2()" href="#Video">Video2</a> <br/><br/><br/> <a target="Video"><embed ID="vidPlayer" src=Video width="500" height="350" valign="bottom"></a> " In the body section. I'm trying to allow the end-user to select "Video1" or "Video2" to play one of two videos but it isn't changing the source of the video player at all. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? D: It all looks right to me.

  Hi, I made your code a bit shorter for reading's sake. This is what I used for embedding YouTube videos, but I'm sure you can replace the iframe with another tag if you are trying to embed videos from other sites. Here's the JavaScript: --EDIT-- Yahoo doesn't like JavaScript so I put it in this pastie: http://pastie.org/3667570 And here's the HTML: <a href="#1" onclick="playVideo1()">Video 1</a> <a href="#2" onclick="playVideo2()">Video 2</a> <iframe id="vidPlayer" width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The code says "When the link is clicked, start the playVideo1 function. The playVideo1 function will set the src attribute of the iframe to the specified URL." Here's the whole document: http://pastie.org/3667576 But before you go and embed YouTube videos, I want to clarify with you that YouTube videos have a special embedding link different from the plain URL. You can find it when you click the "Share" button and then the "Embed" button, or you can replace the "watch?v=" with "/embed/blahblahblah." Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM will be http://www.youtube.com/embed/_OBlgSz8sSM Therefore, everything after the = sign remains the same. Have a good day, Puyttre
