I am trying to load a specific iframe (Youtube video) depending on what is clicked.
<a href="#" class="video"></a>
<a href="#" class="video"></a>
<div class="video-wrapper">
<iframe src="" id="youtube"></iframe>
</div>
My incomplete JQuery is as such;
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a.video').click(function() {
var videoSelect = $(this).attr('href');
$("#youtube-video").attr
});
});
</script>
Any help welcome. Thanks
HTML : (just ID gonna be easier)
<a href="JDglMK9sgIQ" class="video">#1</a>
<a href="LpKyzSxVhk4" class="video">#2</a>
<div class="video-wrapper">
<iframe id="youtube" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
jQuery :
$('a.video').click(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('href');
var src = '//www.youtube.com/embed/'+id;
$("#youtube").attr('src', src);
return false;
});

More better (using data attr)
HTML :
<a href="#" class="video" data-youtube="JDglMK9sgIQ">#1</a>
<a href="#" class="video" data-youtube="LpKyzSxVhk4">#2</a>
<div class="video-wrapper"></div>
jQuery :
$('[data-youtube]').click(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('data-youtube');
var src = '//www.youtube.com/embed/'+id;
var iframe = '<iframe id="youtube" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="'+src+'" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
$(".video-wrapper").html(iframe);
return false;
});
I figured out how to autoplay the videos (below). Any idea how to add an anchor to each link? So... on a long list of YT links, you click a link near the bottom of the page, anchor to the iframe at the top of the page, and autoplay the video? Here's the autoplay bit (+'?autoplay=1'):
$(window).load(function(){
$('a.video').click(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('href');
var src = '//www.youtube.com/embed/'+id+'?autoplay=1';
$("#youtube").attr('src', src);
return false;
