Variable in 'src' attribute about jquery-tmpl HOT 4 CLOSED

Just tested in Chrome on OS X and it appears to be working correctly.

from jquery-tmpl.

I found a workaround but I'll leave the issue here to discuss whether this should be happening or not.

The issue I was having was caused by having a string, converting to a jquery object, and then calling tmpl() on it:

var template = '<img src="${thumb}" alt="${name}" />';
$(template).tmpl({name: 'small', thumb: 'thumb.png'});

Doing the following does work:

var template = '<img src="${thumb}" alt="${name}" />';
$.tmpl(template, {name: 'small', thumb: 'thumb.png'});

from jquery-tmpl.

check the docs - two different fncs : .tmpl() and jQuery.tmpl()

the docs for .tmpl() state "Take the first element in the matched set and render its content as a template, using the specified data." - so you can't use it with a markup string (i think!): http://api.jquery.com/tmpl/

from jquery-tmpl.

Correct. See http://api.jquery.com/jquery.tmpl/ for examples of how to provide a string as template,
In http://api.jquery.com/tmpl/. $("selector") is a wrapped set to the container of the template.
