Play (Embed) YouTube Videos using IFRAME element in HTML Page
The following HTML Markup consists of an HTML TextBox, a Button and an IFRAME element.

The extracted YouTube Video ID is appended to the YouTube embed video URL and the URL is set to the SRC property of the HTML IFRAME element.
<input type="text" id="txtUrl" style="width: 300px" />
<input type="button" id="btnPlay" value="Play" />

<iframe id="video" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" style="display: none"
allowfullscreen></iframe>
