Unable to generate Controller elements

[Brendan Jefferis]

Is there a trick to generating controller elements?

If I set ".className" : "name", in the elements property of my controller, this.name is just a string containing ".className", not the associated element.

I ran test/index.html in my project and everything passed.

The weird thing is, they work fine in the Todo (JS) example I'm working from but when I copy/paste that into my code it breaks.

My temp workaround is to create a simple method that manually assigns $ objects to element properties, i.e.:

getElements : function () {

   this.foo = $("#foo");

   this.bar = $(".bar");

   // etc ...
