Question

I observed an issue with underscore trying to access a data in a HTML property:

For a model with an id and a name properties

<% _.each(collection, function(model){ %>
  <div data-id="<% model.id %>" class="item active"><%= model.name %></div>
<% }); %>

Here, i get <div data-id="" class="item active c">Test</div>, if i do:

<% _.each(collection, function(model){ %>
  <div data-id="<% model.id %>" class="item active"><%= model.name %></div>
<% }); %>

i get <div data-id="" class="item active c">0</div>

So i can’t print into the “data-id” property, it seems to be because i am in a each because i can do this in another part of my code.

Do you know a way to avoid that ?

Thanks.

You’re just one more = sign away!

<% _.each(collection, function(model){ %>
  <div data-id="<%= model.id %>" class="item active"><%= model.name %></div>
<% }); %>
