jQuery.tmpl is not a function

[jrit]

When setting up a template I got an error and was unable to find
documentation about it.

This is the stack from Firebug, with the error message at the top
obviously. When I went through, I confirmed that jQuery.tmpl existed
initially, but in the closure for renderTemplate it was undefined.

jQuery.tmpl is not a function

So I made this change as a workaround, which is so far working fine.Or
in any case, at least makes jQuery['tmpl'] available in the
renderTemplate function - not sure yet if I might be breaking
something else but I at least wanted to report the issue.

var tmpl = jQuery['tmpl']; //added

this['renderTemplate'] = function (template, data, options) {
.........
return tmpl(templateText, data); //changed
};

I'm using the debug release but was getting the same error in the
production release, I switched to debug so I could try to find a
workaround. The version of tmpl I'm using is the one that is linked on
the KO site and version of jQuery is 1.4.2

Is JQuery.tmpl loaded before Knockout? It needs to be. Otherwise, I
see no reason why you are getting the error without looking at your
sample template.
