I am trying to help my f.i.l. put a 'Click Here' link on a website (not his website). The CH link will have embedded code directing the public to a Youtube video he made. The website owner is approving but has no expertise in such things (like me). The website designer is stymied, says my fil has to 'do something' to free up the youtube video in order for him to get the embed code.

I will send those willing to help a link to the website and video.

All this is being done by not-for-profit folks - strictly community-service type work. (Except maybe the website designer who can't figure it out.)

Thanks!

Shouldn't this work on most websites?

<a href="http://______.com/">Click Here</a>

Dave if you go to the youtube video you want you'll see buttons near the bottom of the video to link or embed. Copy the embed code to your page, it will look something like:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w0ffwDYo00Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w0ffwDYo00Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

There is also a link something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ffwDYo00Q&feature=fvsr which is what's in the address bar.

edit: what you said "shouldn't this work, does and it opens the corresponding website in the same window/tab that calls it.

Thank you vm, Joe.

If you want it to open in a new window:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ffwDYo00Q&feature=fvsr" target="_blank">Click here</a>

Of course, substitute the actual URL of the page.

EDIT: That's assuming you want "Click here" rather than embedding the video, which I think is what you asked. You can substitute any text you like for "Click here," by the way.

EDIT EDIT: Just as an aside... A professional Web designer didn't know how to create a hyperlink???
