<h2 class="entry-header">How To Insert A Video From Youtube</h2>
<div class="entry-body">
<p>Youtube gives a way to insert a video in your pages. You can select a few options and the system gives you a piece of html code to insert in your Web page.</p>
<pre>
&lt;object width="425" height="349"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&hl=fr&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&hl=fr&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</pre>
<p><code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080610/embedded0.html#the-embed">embed</a></code> is an element which is part of HTML 5 Working Draft but not part of XHTML 1.0 or XHTML 1.1. The <code>embed</code> element in this example is a fallback of the object element. It says if the object element is not working, use the embed element. So I decided to just cut the embed element in the XHTML 1.1 page.</p>
<pre>
&lt;object width="425" height="349"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</pre>
<p>The code stopped working. The video was not displayed at all in the page. It probably means that the <code>object</code> element has no effect at all and <code>embed</code> is always triggered. So I started to explore what was missing. First, the <code>param</code> element is an empty element, so there is no need for a closing element.</p>
<p>Then I moved the information in the <code>param</code> element to the <code>object</code> element. And finally I added a textual information about the content of the video in case the video would not work properly.</p>
<pre>
&lt;object width="425" height="349"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1&quot;&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1"/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interview of Philippe Le Hégaret about Video codec&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</pre>
<p>I finally tested it in <strong>Camino</strong> (Version 1.6.1Int-v2 (1.8.1.14 2008051211)), <strong>Opera</strong> (9.52, Révision 4916), <strong>Firefox</strong> (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1), and <strong>Safari</strong> (Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)) and it worked well.</p>
<pre>
&lt;object width="425" height="349" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interview of Philippe Le Hégaret about Video codec&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1" /&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</pre>
<p>Which renders as follows:</p>
<object width="425" height="349" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZuNNhOEzJGA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1">

<p>Unfortunately, this example does not work in <strong>Internet Explorer 7</strong> (<em>what a surprise!</em>). To top it off, the page stops loading at the point of the object element in the markup, without even rendering the fallback content (or <em>anything else</em> in the page, for that matter!).</p>
<p>It's ridiculous to think that in 2008, after nearly 9 years, Microsoft's current browser doesn't support the HTML 4 spec properly!</p>
<p>Anyone know how IE8 handles this?</p>

<p>Yup, specs have had a sketchy relationship with reality.... ;-)</p>
<p>When Netscape introduced browser scripting, it also introduced open rendering through plugins. This was invoked by the EMBED tag. Microsoft later had a parallel scheme, using ActiveX Controls and the OBJECT tag. W3C later blessed OBJECT and damned EMBED. </p>
<p>I asked repeatedly at the time, but no one really seemed to discuss what would happen with realworld content, realworld webpages, when EMBED was told to hie thee hence. </p>
<p>Now EMBED's back. Go figure. ;-)</p>
<p>Out in the real world, we start by looking at the engines a site's audience currently uses, and how to display to them. A few years back Drew McClellan tested how then-current browsers did with simple plugin visibility with OBJECT, but didn't check what that did with non-rectangular windows, layering, printing, JavaScript/plugin intercommunication, etc. </p>
<p>Simple specs without U-turns tend to work most smoothly....</p>

<p>It works in Google Chrome.</p>
<p>IE8b2 works only if the movie param exists and the &quot; entity is replaced with a quote character (see the data attribute). It continues to work in "Browser Mode: IE7", which is supposed to emulate IE7.</p>
<p>In IE6, the Flash Player plugin loads, but the movie does not. The method works for a local SWF file, but not for a video from YouTube. Even YouTube's suggested embedding code doesn't work in IE6.</p>
<p>If only I lived in a world where I could ignore IE. I could go home early every day! (But let's not loose site of how far we've come. I stumbled upon an article at <i>A List Apart</i> from many years ago that praised the high level of standards compliance in IE5.5!)</p>
<p>The article "<a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashembedcagematch/" rel="nofollow">Flash Embedding Cage Match</a>" from <i>A List Apart</i> goes through many issues relating to Flash embedding. Their solution to the various compatibility issues is to use DOM scripting (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/" rel="nofollow">SWFObject 2</a> came out of the process that followed that article). </p>
<p>It seems to me that the best fall-back content would be a transcript of the movie. Unfortunately, the effort required to create that is large.</p>

<p>Yup! It works GREAT!
In IE, FF and Chrome-3. Will check Safari soon...</p>
<p>For the last few years I was basically using javascript's document.write("embed ...") to cheat my way around the XHTML W3C validator.
Now I can say goodbye to embed - at least for the time being... </p>
<p>Now- if we can somehow get Google to get rid of Adsense's use of TARGET and other depreciated/invalid syntax! Grrrr! </p>

<p>Ok it is good knowing how to insert videos, but doesn't it make the page very heavy due to lot of code?</p>
<p>Are there any other simple methods</p>

<p>Thanks for the steer on how to make the YouTube embed code W3C compliant. The following compliant code displays correctly on IE 8.0.6001.18702, Firefox 3.6.3 and Chrome 4.1.249.1045</p>
<pre>
&lt;object width="346" height="280" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/redacted"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/redacted"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;/object&gt;

<p>Wow, I wanted to put some YouTube videos on my site and validate XHTML 1.1 Strict. This works fine on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and then I tested IE. There I had to update to the latest Flash player and, yeah, it works across the board. I will play with David Winch's suggestion tomorrow night, but the boss (my wife) is happy to get it the cats and dogs videos working on her website! Thanks a bunch!</p>
