Anyone ever make a frame around a youtube video? I'm building a site where they want their video highlighted. I'd like to build some kind of antique picture frame around the video. Are there any templates for that? I can't find any.

Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you make a div slightly bigger than your embed settings you could give it a background with the picture of the frame. Then let the embedded video cover the center section of the picture. Probably need another div inside the first so you can center the embedded video (margin 0px auto and adjust margins for vertical centering.

    Maybe not the cleanest CSS but it works.

    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

#div-1 {
background-image:url('./images/1g.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 600px;
height: 422px;
}

#div-2 {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 420px;
height: 315px;
margin-left: 96px;
margin-top: 88px;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>

<div  id="div-1">
<div  id="div-2"> 

<iframe width="423" height="253" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_r-0C9TGkpc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
