[jquery] How to display an IFRAME inside a jQuery UI dialog

The problems were:

  1. iframe content comes from another domain
  2. iframe dimensions need to be adjusted for each video

The solution based on omerkirk's answer involves:

  • Creating an iframe element
  • Creating a dialog with autoOpen: false, width: "auto", height: "auto"
  • Specifying iframe source, width and height before opening the dialog

Here is a rough outline of code:

HTML

<div class="thumb">
    <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/yBNVr/show/"   data-title="Std 4:3 ratio video" data-width="512" data-height="384"><img src="http://dummyimage.com/120x90/000/f00&text=Std+4-3+ratio+video" /></a></li>
    <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/yBNVr/1/show/" data-title="HD 16:9 ratio video" data-width="512" data-height="288"><img src="http://dummyimage.com/120x90/000/f00&text=HD+16-9+ratio+video" /></a></li>
</div>

jQuery

$(function () {
    var iframe = $('<iframe frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');
    var dialog = $("<div></div>").append(iframe).appendTo("body").dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        modal: true,
        resizable: false,
        width: "auto",
        height: "auto",
        close: function () {
            iframe.attr("src", "");
        }
    });
    $(".thumb a").on("click", function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var src = $(this).attr("href");
        var title = $(this).attr("data-title");
        var width = $(this).attr("data-width");
        var height = $(this).attr("data-height");
        iframe.attr({
            width: +width,
            height: +height,
            src: src
        });
        dialog.dialog("option", "title", title).dialog("open");
    });
});
