Setting the attribute of an HTML tag with EJS or jQuery

Question

On my express server I'm rendering a page with data as follows: ``` app.get('/people/:personID', function (req, res) { res.render("people/profile", {person: req.person }); }); ``` In my profile.ejs file I can access the data in an ejs tag like so: `

<%= person.name %>

` I can't figure how to change an attribute of an html tag to the value stored in this object though. This doesn't work: `

alt="">` or this: `$("#my_img").attr("src", <%= person.picture %>);` Also, if there's a better way to pass this document to the html page and access it I'm all ears(or eyes in this case). Thank you

Accepted Answer

You have to include string values within quotes. In html: ```

``` In jQuery: ``` $("#my_img").attr("src", "<%= person.picture %>"); ```
