How to embed your Youtube video on your website properly
Hey, ever wonder how to embed a YouTube video on your website so it scales nicely at any resolution? It's not that hard. You just need to place the iframe with the video in a div positioned relatively, and the iframe itself should be positioned absolutely. I threw in another div here, but it's not necessary. Then, in the CSS, set values for the container and the iframe like below, and voila, you can scale it however you want. It'll even look great on a Nokia 3310 :P
HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color:grey;}
.ytcontainer {
position: relative;
width:100%;
height:0;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* Adjust this value if your video isn't in 16:9 aspect ratio */
}
.ytvideo {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
.redbox100 { background:red; margin:20px 0;height:100px;}
.green {background:green;height:200px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="redbox100">
<h2>Hey!</h2>
</div>
<div class="ytcontainer">
<iframe class="ytvideo" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/orovBu5-SOI" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</div>
<div class="redbox100 green">
<h2>Hey!</h2>
<p>and that's about it.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
One last note: it's good if the video thumbnail (if you've customized it) has the same size as the video frame. Otherwise, the thumbnail might show those ugly black bars on the sides or top and bottom of the video. If the thumbnail is an actual frame from the video, then no worries - everything will work great!
Here's a quick video of making this code for you.
