Hi Guys,

I am a very basic Javascript programmer & don't really know Jquery and I need some help. I want to create a link (to a youtube video) which when clicked will open it in a new window. Now I found this page on codepen (https://codepen.io/kliedLABS/pen/DWZoww) and it seems to do exactly what I am looking for. Trouble is I am having problems implementing it. Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title> Document </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="magnific-popup.css">

</head>
<body>
	<script src="jquery.magnific-popup.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
	
	$(document).ready(function() {
	$('.popup-youtube').magnificPopup({
    type: 'iframe'
  });
});

</script>

<div>
<a class="popup-youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euy4Yu6B3nU">Air</a>
</div>




</body>
</html>

Am I missing something obvious like I haven't called the function? This is a link to the the Magnific site: https://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/

Many thanks

Yes you are missing something obviously different, which is that you are including jquery and the magnific popup code in the wrong order AND loading it in the body rather than the head section.  Try changing it to this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title> Document </title>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="jquery.magnific-popup.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="magnific-popup.css">
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('.popup-youtube').magnificPopup({
        type: 'iframe'
      });
    });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <a class="popup-youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euy4Yu6B3nU">Air</a>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

 

Hey gizmola,

Yes that's what was 90% of the problem. Thank you. The rest of the problem was that:

17 hours ago, gizmola said:
    <script src="jquery.magnific-popup.js"></script>

Didn't contain the iframe functions. So I just used the build tool to generate the JS file and only included iframe.

All done now

Thanks!
