jquery and vimeo: won't autoplay

Question

I have a vimeo video that loads when the user clicks on a div.

<div class="vimeobox" ID="vimeo-ID-goes-here"></div>

Here is my javascript:

$(".vimeobox").click(function() {

        var iframe = "<iframe />";
        var id = $(this).attr('id'); // 
        var url = "http://player.vimeo.com/video/" + id + "?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;autoplay=1";

        var width = 700;
        var height = 394;
        var frameborder = 0;

         $(iframe, {
            name: 'videoframe',
            id: 'videoframe',
            src: url,
            width: width,
            height: height,
            frameborder: frameborder,
            type: 'text/html',
            allowfullscreen: true,
            webkitAllowFullScreen: true,
            mozallowfullscreen: true
        }).css({'position': 'absolute', 'top': '0', 'left': '0'}).appendTo(this);

        $(this).find('img').fadeOut(function() { $(this).remove();

        });

    });

The vimeo player appears when the div is clicked on (removing the preview image)...but the video does not autoplay.

I don't know what the issue is. I am using near-identical code for a youtube player (minus the url variable) and it autoplays?

Just change the & in your url by ?.
