Passing value of HTML to jQuery file

Question

I have a script like this, and it runs well!

<div id="player"></div>

the jQuery file:

$(document).ready(function(){
    //You can alternatively pass an object:

    $('#player').youTubeEmbed({
        video       : 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyeJXKfAcpc',
        width       : 640,      // Height is calculated automatically
        progressBar : true      // Hide the progress bar
    });
});

but now I want to make the youtube id in an input value like this:

<div id="player">
    <input type="hidden" name="youtube-id" value="uyeJXKfAcpc" />
</div>

and pass it to the jquery to be something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    //You can alternatively pass an object:
    $('#player').youTubeEmbed({
        var yid = $(this).children("input[name='youtube-id']"),
        video       : 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . yid,
        width       : 640,      // Height is calculated automatically
        progressBar : true      // Hide the progress bar
    });
});

Answer 1

You are declaring a variable inside an object, move it to above the youTubeEmbed plugin, also use the .val() method to access the input's value.

var yid = $("input[name='youtube-id']").val();
$('#player').youTubeEmbed({
    video           : 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + yid,
    width           : 640,      // Height is calculated automatically
    progressBar : true      // Hide the progress bar
});
