Get ID of dom-element

console.log(video);

puts in my console the following line:

<object type=​"application/​x-shockwave-flash" class=​"video" data=​"http:​/​/​www.youtube.com/​v/​vyFAF-J3jzM" width=​"308" height=​"100" id=​"video" style=​"visibility:​ visible;​ ">​…​</object>

So "video" holds the entire dom-object. How can I query the ID of this object with JavaScript?

Something like var vidID = video.getId();
