var video_url = document.getElementById('youtubediv').value;
        if(video_url!=""){
        ytid(video_url);
        document.getElementById("youtube").setAttribute("src","http://www.youtube.com/embed/"+ytid(video_url));
        }
        function ytid(video_url){
            var video_id = video_url.split('v=')[1];
            var ampersandPosition = video_id.indexOf('&');
            if(ampersandPosition != -1) {
                video_id = video_id.substring(0, ampersandPosition);
            }
            return video_id;
