Change font color

Change font color

I have a function which takes the word that I type in a text box, compares it to an array and if the word matches an element in the array, it wraps it in a `span` tag and tries to change the color of that word. However, I can not get the font color to actually change.. Can somebody please help me?

  2. function wrapLinesForKeyword($container, word) {
  3.            
  4.             var word = word.trim();
  5.             var tmp = '';
  6.             
  7.             for (var i = 0; i < reservedKeyWords.length; i++) {
  8.                 
  9.                 if (word == reservedKeyWords[i]) {

  11.                     var tmp = '<span>' + word + '</span> ';
  12.                     $(word).css('color', 'blue');                  
  13.                     console.log(tmp);
  14.                 }
  15.             }
  16. }
