I have the following code:
...
</tr>
<!-- ko if: eLocBound() == 'true' -->
<tr>
<td>Select Locations <span class="required_star">*</span></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<!-- /ko -->
<tr>
...
This displays correctly in Chrome/Firefox/Safari. However, when I load the page in IE 9, the following error occurs:
Cannot find closing comment tag to match: ko if: eLocBound() == 'true'
When I check the HTML output in IE's developer window, I discover that IE is actually nesting the <!-- ko if -->
comment tag inside the previous TR tag instead of in between the TR tags, thus Knockout is unable to find the matching <!-- /ko -->
tag. I've linked to a screenshot of the problem here: http://imgur.com/nN7Ln
Conversely, if I change the code to this:
<tr data-bind="visible: eLocBound() == 'true'">
<td>Select Locations <span class="required_star">*</span></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
</tr>
Then everything works fine. I would just like to know if anyone has encountered this problem with virtual elements.
