can i use my own website to show my youtube playlist and when someone clicks on a video on that playlist it will play still on my own website? the youtube player also should be beside the playlist on my own website...

A: 

Yes, you can use the YouTube API for the playlists, and embed the videos in your site.

yeah but can u click on that playlist and see that video playing on the same window? i was thinking it will redirect on the youtube page instead of staying on my own website? which parameters i need to change in order to achieve this? or where exactly is it stated in youtube api docs? thank you!!

You can play it on your site, or on YT, it's up to you. What language are you using?

PHP, joomla, i cant seem to find that article in youtube api docs can you point me to it?

I'm not too familiar with PHP or Joomla, but this should be of use for the playlist:http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#Playlists_FeedsTo make sure the video plays in your site, you need to embed it. Each video has a special link for videos you want embedded. You can find the link here:http://google.about.com/od/googleblogging/ss/embedyoutubesbs.htm
