It didn't embed because you didn't put the width and height in the opening tag. I put them in so that you can change them, but it does mean you have to specify them. Fixed it for you - press Quote to see what I did.

I did go to a drive-thru in the frog once - had to reach up to get to the counter. :lol:

Why do we have to enter the size ?

Shouldn't it do it automatically if you use the embed code from Youtube ?

No, the embed code is HTML and it contains hardcoded size values - I made them variables that you put in the tag so that they can be changed as not all videos are the same size. There may be a better way, but at least it works!

I've just checked a few Youtube vids and the standard size is 640 x 360, could this be used as a standard setting here?

I think you can . in other forums you don't need to set size . so they must have set a default for the size , its worth a try .......

Yes, of course I can hard-code it to a default size, but seeing at the size above is 560 x 315, leads me to ask how many other random sizes they use. Maybe when I have a bit more time to play about with it, I'll see if I can improve it.
