Javascript variable in src

Question

I have the following Javascript variable.

<script type ="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById("vid").src = video.url();
</script>

How do I put the videoUrl into my movie player.

<video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay>
<embed id="vid" src="videoUrl" width="200" height="200">
</video>

Get the element with javascript (after it is loaded into the DOM) then change its src attribute.

<embed id="vid" src="videoUrl" width="200" height="200">
<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById("vid").src = video.url();
</script>

Cannot set property of 'src' undefined.

posted the updates. video.url returns a link to a .mp4 file downloaded on a server.

the javascript MUST come after the embed. hence "after it is loaded into the DOM". is that what you did?

However, i do not get the URL until AFTER the javascript is done.

How does that work? Do you set var video = {url : function(){...}} later in your program?
