Thank you for submitting a ticket to the jQuery Bug Tracker!

In order for us to evaluate the bug you are experiencing, we'll need you to submit a reduced test case on  http://jsfiddle.net that reproduces the behaviour you are experiencing so that we can further establish whether this is indeed a bug.

Furthermore, please test your code using jQuery 1.4.4 to confirm if the behaviour you are seeing is still there with the latest version of core.

Because we get so many tickets, we often need to return them to the initial reporter for more information. If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!

Reopening - I'm going to investigate this myself.

Two issues with the following code:

$.get('tmp-product-detail.htm', function(template) {

$(template).tmpl(json).appendTo('#contentShopItem');

});

First, template here is an HTML string obtained as content of the tmp-product-detail.htm file. jQuery Templates are not necessarily valid or well-formed HTML, and so many issues can arise if you define them as content of a non-script HTML element. They should be defined as content as script elements or as strings. Loading remotely should either be a strings, or as content of script elements within a remote page loaded through $.get.

Secondly, if you have a template as a string, you should render it by compiling a named template, or by using $.tmpl( templateString, data).appendTo( '#content' );

$( templateString ).tmpl(data).appendTo( '#content' ) is incorrect. Again, $( selector ).tmpl is used when selector is a selector to a script element, not a template string, which as I say, may not even be valid HTML.

Rick, I think the issues here are browser-specific side-effects of the above errors in using the APIs so we should be able to close this.
