How to post a YouTube video

idlewild

How do I post a You Tube video in my message? I did a search and found no discussion. I'm running Firefox 2 on a Mac OSX if this matters.

MOD

Use the link on the youtube that says "embeded" link.

Cut and past that instead of just the plain link

Yeah , what Mamacita said. And maybe add a little salt and pepper to taste.A hint of cumin and a splash of lemon juice.

What Mamacita said. For style points, delete all the <parm></pram> stuff after pasting it.

For the above youtube clip, the embed code would be this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yioJQFrqMXM&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yioJQFrqMXM&hl=en"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You should delete the param stuff so it looks like this:
<object width="425" height="344"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yioJQFrqMXM&hl=en"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I disabled html for this post so you can see the code.

That's good to know. I'm going to give it a try.
