    I am using the tinyMCE editor to insert youtube videos into my Pages which delivers the following code…

    <object style="width: 425px; height: 350px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TASNWJZ_p9U" /><embed style="width: 425px; height: 350px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TASNWJZ_p9U"></embed></object>

    Can I use CSS to automatically apply a background color/padding/border to these videos?

    yes, add in style.css definition to object or embed elements, also add !important marker if something will not work. for example:

    embed {
    border: solid 2px red !important;
    }

    remeber that in this way you are not allowed to edit how flash animation looks. (for example play button), only box, where flash will be placed

    Thanks for the quick reply. That seems to have unpredictable results…

    If I add…

    embed, object {
	padding: 3px !important;
	border: 1px solid #05c7f6 !important;
	background-color: #02a7cf !important;
}

    A 1px border shows in IE (no padding/background etc) and nothing in Firefox at all?
