afterRender usage question

[Cameron Macintosh]

I'm trying to use the afterRender attribute on a template binding to swap out the contents of a DOM node based on the context of where I'm including the template.  the HTML chunk I'm swapping in has a computed() property bound, but it's not getting rendered.  Is there a way to trigger my data bindings to be executed in this context or am I completely abusing and misusing afterRender?

Or am I trying to be too clever for my own good when I should just make 2 separate templates? (which is what I'm strongly considering doing right now.)

Thanks in advance.

hi,

for me its not clear what you would like to do. Please setup an fiddle/example

you may pass in model values to the template 

an handle dom-structure relevant stuff with if or visible foreach what ever binding.

consider the view as slave to the model.

best regards
