Using Lightbox2 to display video
===

Site: http://blieque.comli.com/motion

Before I start, I know there are many alternatives to Lightbox2 (Lokesh Dhakar's) to display videos but I want to avoid using three different JavaScript things, already using MooTools and JQuery as I'd like to keep HTTP requests to a minimum, as well as disk usage.

As it comes, Lightbox2 does not support videos, full stop. However, I noticed that the JavaScript was essentially taking the contents of an `a`'s `href` attribute and placing it in an `img`'s `src` attribute when the light-box was open. As far as I can see, changing this `img` to an `iframe` (done) and setting the anchor tag's `href` to `youtube.com/embed/*video-id*` should generate an `iframe` containing that YouTube video (replacing `watch?id=` with `embed/` presents a full screen version of the video.

I then also added JavaScript for width, height and frameborder attributes on top of the default `class="lb-image"`. Now when the page is loaded and the Lightbox called it creates an empty window. If you inspect the code you can see all the attributes are there but the page in the frame frame isn't loaded, just creating an empty `head` and `body` tag.

I was just wondering if it was a server problem or a code problem and if so, how to fix it. If there any way to make it work?

Thanks

Note: I'm NOT using Drupal so the `lightvideo` option is not available.
