I'm attempting to update my model using ng-click attached to a <p>.
I have no problem with an assignment expression outside of an ng-repeat, or with calling a scope method inside the ng-repeat. However, if I use an assignment inside the ng-repeat, it appears to be ignored. I don't see any messages reported in the Firefox console, but haven't tried setting breakpoints to see if the event is being fired.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Test of ng-click</title> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.angularjs.org/1.1.1/angular.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[ function MyCtrl($scope) { $scope.selected = ""; $scope.defaultValue = "test"; $scope.values = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]; $scope.doSelect = function(val) { $scope.selected = val; } } //]]> </script> </head> <body ng-app> <div ng-controller='MyCtrl'> <p>Selected = {{selected}}</p> <hr/> <p ng-click='selected = defaultValue'>Click me</p> <hr/> <p ng-repeat='value in values' ng-click='selected = value'>{{value}}</p> <hr/> <p ng-repeat='value in values' ng-click='doSelect(value)'>{{value}}</p> </div> </body> </html> Fiddle is here, if you prefer (along with a couple of earlier variants).

Directive ngRepeat creates a new scope for each iteration, so you need to reference your variables in parent scope.
Use $parent.selected = value, as in:
<p ng-repeat='value in values' ng-click='$parent.selected = value'>{{value}}</p> Note: Function call propagates due to prototypal inheritance.
