Video embedding

GreyHead 23 Dec, 2008
Hi all,

I needed to embed a YouTube video in my site in a hurry yesterday. I'm sure that I could have found an extension to do it but I had ChronoForms installed so created a quick form with the YouTube embedding code in the Form HTML and a little div to wrap it. It works perfectly.
