I cant tell whats wrong here. I actually had it working and now Im not sure what happened. I cant figure out what the correct syntax is of putting the x variable inside the jquery line. if you look I have it with double quotes inside single quotes --just the + x + part I mean. Which I think is really odd but yet it changes to look correct(coloring) inside my editor. I checked stackoverflow and seen it done this way. This has me baffled. Any suggestions?
