JQuery variable value in quotes

Question

I have a problem putting variable value in quotes in Jquery:

for example:

I have a Html color code in variable color, which has a value #FFFF00. I vant to display variable value like this: "#FFFF00".

I tried something like this but it didn't work:

context.strokeStyle = "\"color\"";

What exactly is the problem? – Justin Ethier Mar 20 '13 at 21:56 — Justin Ethier, Mar 20 '13 at 21:56

If you want to display the string wrapped in quotes then simply use:

context.strokeStyle = '"' + color + '"';

Just use the variable directly.

context.strokeStyle = color;

and if you want to add quotes to it:

context.strokeStyle = "&quot;" + color + "&quot;";

You don't need the quotes.

context.strokeStyle = color;

Should do just fine.
