how to check the valid Youtube url using jquery

Question

In Jquery i want to check the specific url from youtube alone and show success status and others i want to skip by stating it as not valid url

var _videoUrl          


        

Answer 1

You may try using a regular expression:

var url = 'youtube.com/watch?v=FhnMNwiGg5M';
var isyouTubeUrl = /((http|https):\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com)(\/)?([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)\/?/.test(url);

Answer 2

var regexp = /^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?youtube\.com\/watch\?(?=.*v=((\w|-){11}))(?:\S+)?$/;

var matches_array = video_url.match(regexp);

if(matches_array == null)

{

                alert("Enter youtube url");

                return false;

}
