I've got an HTML file that embeds a Youtube video using an iFrame. However before the video starts loading, I need to pass it an URL, since the iFrame just acts as a container.
Is it possible to do it with Javascript?.

Yes it is, set the `src` attribute. – tymeJV May 23 '16 at 15:17

Just like that?, but how can I tell JavaScript to load the video only when I set the attribute and not at the very beginning?. – Artemix May 23 '16 at 15:24

Check this example if it's meeting your requirements
<iframe id="custom-frame" src="/test.html"></iframe>
<p>Click the button to change the value of the src attribute in the iframe </p>
<button onclick="changeFrame()">Try it</button>
<script>
function changeFrame() {
document.getElementById("custom-frame").src = "http://www.facebook.com";
}
</script>

Ok. So if I don't initially set a "src" for the iFrame that means it will do nothing until I set it myself right?. – Artemix May 23 '16 at 15:51
