/*If you are creating a dynamic video system, you may need to dynamically wrap the iframe with the div above, like so:*/
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('iframe').wrap('<div class="video-container" />');
});
/*Note that this will wrap all iFrames, it would be better to give your emedded youTube videos a custom class, but this simple trick will work if you don't have many iFrames... You really shouldn't*/
