Converting HTML element to string in JavaScript / JQuery

I would like to convert a html element created from a string back to the string after some modifications. But I get an empty string instead.

$('<iframe width=854 height=480 src=http://www.youtube.com/embed/gYKqrjq5IjU?feature=oembed frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe>').html();

How can I do that another way?

You can do this:

var $html = $('<iframe width=854 height=480 src=http://www.youtube.com/embed/gYKqrjq5IjU?feature=oembed frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe>');    

var str = $html.prop('outerHTML');

console.log(str);

<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js></script>
