Question

I have a simple add event in Backbonejs, I also have template:

initialize: function()
{
    this.template = _.template($("#person-template").html());
}

renderperson: function(model)
{
    //model.name is "Jack" for example
    //Now I want to render this template with Name replaced with "Jack"?
    $("#somelement").append( ); //What to do here???
}

template is simple:

<script type="text/template" id="person-template">
    <div class="person"><%= Name %></div>
</script>

Answer 1

 $("#somelement").append( this.template(this.model.toJSON()) );

you may also need to add

_.bindAll(this)

to your initialize method
