Return Embed YouTube Current Time

I know this question has already been asked before, with answers pointing to Google's iFrame API Reference's code player.getCurrentTime():Number, but where exactly do I put that JS code?

I want to append current time to <p class="displaytime"> whenever <button class="gettime"> is pressed.

I have already constructed the YT.Player object and am able to trigger Play and Pause with external buttons, but can't get Current Time.

Here's my trial with jQuery:

$('.gettime').click(function() {
$('.displaytime').append(player.getCurrentTime():Number);
});

I suppose I can't append the code directly? Thanks!

Ok, got it.

 $('.gettime').click(function(){
    var currenttime =  player['player1'].getCurrentTime();
    $('.displaytime').append(currenttime);
    });

I guess the :Number in API's ref code was to tell that the output is a number.
