Utube in FP 2003

[Barryjt]

I am trying to insert a link from a page on my website to a video on Utube.
I have done this before but now it doesn't work. I pasted the URL in to my
web page but when I click on it I get a message: "The URL contained a
malformed video ID. "
I know it is the correct URL because if I send it via email, it works fine.
I've tried linking to other videos but get the same result.

I also tried following the instructions for embedding a video but that
didn't work either.

I am using FP 2003 with Vista Home Premium.

Help please but not too technical!

I forgot to add: the video I want is:

Are you using the Embed html provided by YouTube? :

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"
value="

"></param><param
name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"
value="always"></param><embed
src="

"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You can customize the Embed right on YouTube then copy/paste it into your
code in FP.

Thanks Rob. All I did was copy and paste the urlm from my browser (IE) into
the page on my website. It always worked before but not now. I'm not very
tech enabled.

The URL should work too but will take you TO YouTube to that vid. The
"malformed" video ID might mean you copied only part of the URL...or???

Thanks Rob. It's strange. I did paste the entire url but it wouldn't work.
However, I have now found another version which I have pasted and that is
working fine. It not as nice but beggars can't be choosers!

Thanks again for replying.
