this in {{each}} doesn't work

[Hoazl]

The {{each}}-method does not preserve the same this-object as in the outer scope. For example, see this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4JGhf/1/ I have a template with a subtemplate, and in the subtemplate I want to output the sorting-property of the parent template; Directly in the template, it works (${this.parent.data.sorting}), but in the each-loop I get the error "this.parent is undefined" in firebug.

So I made a small modification to the definition of the "each"-tag:

"each": {
    _default: { $2: "$index, $value" },
    open: "if($notnull_1){var $parent=this;$.each($1a,function($2){with(this){;",
    close: "}});}"
},

The important part here is "var $parent=this" which sets the $parent-variable to be accessible within the each-function. Now look at the second fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4JGhf/2/. Instead of using the ${this.parent.data.sorting}-value in the {{each}}-loop, I use the ${$parent.parent.data.sorting}-value to access the property, and it works!

The intention was to use $item, rather than this, to get the current tmplItem. So it is not necessary to define a new $parent variable... Can you confirm that this works for you?

Parent's sorting: ${$item.parent.data.sorting}<br />
{{each $data.prices}}
    Parent's sorting in Each: ${$item.parent.data.sorting}<br />

Yes, it works when using $item. Thank you very much!
