How to stop a Vimeo video with jQuery

Question

When I hide a YouTube video, it stops playing. However, this is not the case for Vimeo videos. Is there another way to stop a Vimeo video?

Answer 1

Another answer along the lines of David's...you can use jQuery to clear the SRC attribute of the iFrame.

$('iframe#targetID').attr('src','');

I'm using this with a Vimeo video and a lightbox effect. When the lightbox is triggered again, I add the video URL back to the iFrame SRC before showing it.
