template is not parsed correctly in ff4

[chrismarx]

here is the jsfiddle test :

http://jsfiddle.net/nick_craver/Tgwcd/

when using ${} in a html attribute on ff, it doesn't get recognized and parsed as template code-

i realize this could be avoided by using a script tag to contain the template, but im using ajax to bring in a html file multiple templates, and jquery parsed out the scripts when getting the content, and made it so i couldn't access templates inside scripts tags-

Wrapping in a div is not supported. Browsers serialize in ways that will break templates. Bringing the templates as an HTML file is probably not a good idea. If you can't get the scripttag content from the file, you will have to fetch the template(s) as string, e.g. in a text file or js file.

This is the same problem (trying to use HTML content as a template) as in the following: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-tmpl/issues/5 https://github.com/jquery/jquery-tmpl/pull/31 Note that templates are not necessarily even well-formed HTML, so it is not possible in general (and is not supported) to get them from HTML content as such...

ok, thanks for the info, i worked out what was going on with the jquery ajax call for the remote html file with scripts, this works now:

BasePanel.getTemplate = function(){ var $templates; //use filter to just get script nodes, and not other text or comment nodes $.get(JsUtils.baseUrl + "scripts/app/templates/template_compilation.html",function(data){ $templates = $(data).map(function(i, template){ return $(template); }).filter(function(){ return typeof(this.attr("id")) !== "undefined"; }); });

//memoize BasePanel.getTemplate = function(templateName){ return $templates.filter(function(){ return this.attr("id") === templateName; })[0]; //note a template call should only ever return one match, this is enforced here, and also to return the actual element and not an array of jquery elements }; };
