[YouTube-API] Re: A simple javascript to pause playback (iframe embed)

Jeffrey.  So I don't quite get what the issue is then when I also try to stop the iframe video.

1. using jQuery I have this.

 $(document).ready(function(){
          $('#stoptest').click(function () {
            $("#ytplayer").stopVideo();
          });

});

My iframe code is this:

<iframe id="ytplayer" class="youtubeVideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nZb0fpttZXQ?wmode=transparent&version=3&enablejsapi=1" style="width:500px; height:300px; z-index:2000" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true">
                 </iframe>

  But when I try to add a simple link to page to stop the player and try calling stopVideo() it is not stopping. Ultimately I would change the #stoptest to elements on the page that want to top the video, but currently it is having issues calling stop video. I have tried to see anything in Firebug but nothing seems to be firing and I get no errors. It is like the function is just not being called. Any ideas>

Hello,

 There's not that much additional work if you already are familiar
with JavaScript and are using the iframe embed method. There's some
tips on using the API when you have a pre-existing <iframe> tag
already on your page (as opposed to loading the iframe embed via the
API itself) at

  http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.html#Loading_a_video_player

 You'd just want to call the pauseVideo() method on the player object.

 There's no difference with regard to IE7 support between including
the <iframe> tag in your HTML and loading the iframe embed dynamically
via JavaScript.
