Embed a Youtube/Vimeo video onto a page without iframesDoes anybody know the HTML code and the parameters I would need to use to embed a video from vimeo/youtube without using iframes? I want the video to still be hosted on youtube/vimeo, just don't want to use the iframes.

Re: Embed a Youtube/Vimeo video onto a page without iframeswant to keep my code valid with the DTD I'm using(Original post by Dez)
Why not?
If need be, I'll use iframes, though will then have to hide the little self-validation link in my footer. So purely for ego purposes. -

Re: Embed a Youtube/Vimeo video onto a page without iframesAs far as I can recall, there are no DTDs that disallow the use of the iframe element. Also, putting "This site is standards compliant" stickers on your website is a ridiculous practice that needs to die a horrid, yet rapid death.(Original post by purplefrog)

Re: Embed a Youtube/Vimeo video onto a page without iframesFurther to what Dez said, if you're not using the html5 doctype then you're doing it wrong.(Original post by purplefrog)
