title: Click overlay div to play youtube video
body: <p>I have a placeholder div overlaying a youtube iframe. I'm trying to click on the placeholder and play the video using jquery. It seems very simple, but I can't for the life of me figure this out. Could anyone help me with this?</p>
  
  <p>Here's the html I'm working with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
     &lt;span class="placeholder"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;iframe id="video width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/abqjFFtAPRo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
