Hi..

I am trying to insert a YouTube from xslt.. it shows the video with this code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:480px; height:360px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/tEdPJaq6t9s?autoplay=0&amp;version=3&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tEdPJaq6t9s?autoplay=0&amp;version=3&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
  <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
  <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
</object>

but I would like to insert the video if the end-user has specified a YouTube video id. Right now I have just tried with a variable, but it doesn't seem to work.. in the output the variable doesn't return any output.. I will later create a property on the doc type to enter the id, but this should also work.

<xsl:variable name="videoID" select="tEdPJaq6t9s"/>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:480px; height:360px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$videoID}?autoplay=0&amp;version=3&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$videoID}?autoplay=0&amp;version=3&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
  <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
  <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
</object>

Isn't the variable inserted correct into the url string?

Hi Bjarne,

When you set the variable like that, the processor is actually looking for an <tEdPJaq6t9s> element :-) - wrap some quotes around it to supply it as a string:
```
<xsl:variable name="videoID" select="'tEdPJaq6t9s'" />
```

Thanks Chriztian :)

That was a quick fix..

It works just fine now inside the Video tab here: http://sub.ak-security.dk/da/shop/lygter/led-lenser-p7.aspx
