Question

I am trying to use “virtual element” with html binding to create html part on the fly but failed with message: “The binding ‘html’ cannot be used with virtual elements”. Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/d3Dpp/.

Anyone knows if there is any workaround?

Answer 1

Well, after some playing with knockout I see that it is possible.

Working example is here

unfortunatelly this requires duplication of some internal knockout functionality

UPDATE

KnockoutJS 2.2.1 added virtual elements binding to export, so it is available even in minified version:

ko.exportSymbol('virtualElements.allowedBindings', ko.virtualElements.allowedBindings);

It means that better solution for html binding is possible – see Martijn’s answer.
