The code works according to JsFiddle; http://jsfiddle.net/arame3333/PTWnq/6/
However in my MVC project it renders on the page as;
{{ for BusinessUnitName }} •{"BusinessUnitName":["Design and Build (Technical)","Architectual Design","ICT","Mechanical & Electrical ","Safety Management","Pre-Construction & Bid Preparation"]} {{/for }}
Why would this happen?
The relevant code is;
<ul id="departmentList"><%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.AdditionalDepartmentList) %></ul>
<script id="DepartmentTemplate" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
{{ for BusinessUnitName }}
<li>{{:#data}}</li>
{{/for }}
</script>
function RefreshDepartments(o) {
alert("Here are the results");
var url = '<%: Url.Action("GetAdditionalDepartments", "DataService")%>';
dataService.getAdditionalDepartments(
o.EmployeeId,
RenderDepartments,
url
);
}
RenderDepartments = function (data) {
$('#departmentList').empty();
$('#departmentList').html($('#DepartmentTemplate').render(data));
};
The data comes from the controller here;
public ActionResult GetAdditionalDepartments(int employeeId)
{
var list = AdditionalDepartment.GetBusinessNamesByEmployeeId(employeeId);
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = jss.Serialize(new JsonArrayFormat(list.ToList()));
return new JsonResult
{
Data = json,
JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
};
}
Edited markup - I cannot dispaly all of it;

The problem was in 3 whitespaces, it was hard to find problem, because jsfiddle.net example works fine. After all attempts to detect problem I asked arame3333 for htmp-markup, then I just try it and found, that problem in template, correct one:
