Changing the background color dynamically using ".css()" method jQuery

Question

I am currently working on calendar showing starting date and ending date of various projects in a hypothetical organisation, I have manage to do that using classes in javascript for each project

What I can't figure out is that :Is there to way to pass object values to .css() method in jQuery.

For example, can I do something like this :

$('this').css('background-color','object.colorCode');

You need to remove the quotation for the second argument there. I guess object really is an object with the property colorCode which hopefully contains a useful value.

Currently you're passing in the string-value "object.colorCode" into the style, which obviously makes no sense at all.

Beyond that, $('this') on the other hand should have no quotation. $(this) please.

@user1295276: you didn't look stupid at all. You asked the question in a clear and reasonable way (which is not so standard). Nothing wrong in asking.

You should be able to pass in object.colorCode without the quotes. Also $(this) shouldn't have quotes either so the statement should be:

$(this).css('background-color', object.colorCode);

That is assuming colorCode is a property of the object
