I am trying to learn to use Knockoutjs but I am facing a problem
this is the scenario:
I have a page where I define a Knockoutjs viewModel as follow
$(document).ready(function () {
var viewModel = {
selectedColumns: ko.observableArray()
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
});
Now with an Ajax request I add to the page a checkbox which I want to bind to the viewModel
<input type='checkbox' id='someId' data-bind='attr: { value: 'someValue' }, checked: $root.selectedColumns'>
$(document).ready(function() {
ko.applyBindings(viewModel, document.getElementById(someId));
});
but I always get
Error: ReferenceError: viewModel is not defined Source File: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
I've created a test page where everything is on one page and it works
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Home Page</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/knockout-2.1.0.debug.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var count = 0;
var viewModel = {
selectedPeople: ko.observableArray()
};
$(document).ready(function () {
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
});
function AddAnotherCheckbox(){
var id = "checkbox" + count;
var checknox = count + " <input type='checkbox' id='" + id + "' data-bind='attr: { value: \"" + count + "\" }, checked: $root.selectedPeople'><br/>";
$("#container").append(checknox);
count++;
$(document).ready(function() {
ko.applyBindings(viewModel, document.getElementById(id));
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="AddAnotherCheckbox()"/>
<div id="container"></div>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<span data-bind="text: selectedPeople"></span>
</body>
</html>
But I can't make it working using partial view
Could you explain to me what's the problem and how can I solve it?
thanks

This is not about Knockout, it's about JavaScript in general.
Your Testcode works because you have defined the viewModel outside of $(document).ready
This is a other scope.
Compare theese to jsFiddles
This does not work (your scenario)
This works
This does not work
$(document).ready(function () {
var viewModel = {
someThing : "Test"
};
});
$(document).ready(function () {
alert(viewModel.someThing);
});
This will work
var viewModel;
$(document).ready(function () {
viewModel = {
someThing : "Test"
};
});
$(document).ready(function () {
alert(viewModel.someThing);
});
