Cannot get a jquery variable to pass it's declared value
<p>--In the variable line below I declared a variable (xwid) as 690. But when I try the code by using the variable of $xwid, the width never updates.  Any ideas?</p>

<pre><code>$xwid=690;  // my var

// my code
$('.iframe-link').html( '&lt;iframe src="reasons.html" frameborder="0" width=$xwid height="305" scrolling="auto"&gt;
</code></pre>
