How to stop a youtube iframe video after closing a popup
Raw
youtube-hide.js
//Cache jQuery object in a variable
var $youtubeIframeId = $('#YourIFrameID');
//First get the iframe URL
var url = $youtubeIframeId.attr('src');
//Then assign the src to an empty String, this then stops the video from playing
$youtubeIframeId.attr('src', '');
// Finally reassign the iframe URL (url) back to the iframe, so when you hide the video and show it again you still have the correct source
$youtubeIframeId.attr('src', url);

Updated the code with proper caching of the jQuery object and fixing the comments grammar
