I have Python code, in which I'm using jinja to send data to a template in Flask. I can access the code just find in HTML, but when I try displaying the data in Javascript, it doesn't work.
For example, here's my Python code:

```
name = "Steve"
return render_template('simple.html',data=json.dumps(name))

```

And in my simple.html code, in the html body:

```
<script>
var name = {{ data }};
alert(name);
</script>

```

The error in my console says "SyntaxError: Unexpected token '&'"

I know I've seen this problem before, I'm forgetting how to solve it though.
