is there way make work in ie , chrome without using youtube api? appreciated.

why not use youtube api

change original src of iframe

http://www.youtube.com/embed/_zeu4mpatpa?wmode=opaque&html5=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1

note &enablejsapi=1 added end.

then in script file add call youtube api below

var tag = document.createelement('script');        tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";       var firstscripttag = document.getelementsbytagname('script')[0];       firstscripttag.parentnode.insertbefore(tag, firstscripttag); 

create player instance

this may daunting simple when head around it.

var player;       function onyoutubeiframeapiready() {         player = new yt.player('currentvideo', {          });       } 

the var player used reference video functions. , currentvideo id of iframe.

and can stop player using

player.stopvideo() 

okay it's still not quite simple should it's reliable way
