I have tried to use tmpl() function and it seems that it does not populate href attribute of the a tag in FireFow on 64-bit Windows7.

I have included following libraries:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.2.min.js"></script>

<script src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.templates/beta1/jquery.tmpl.min.js"></script>

In the HTML is placed following code as a template:

<ul id="template">

<li>

<a href="${Name}" alt="${Name}">${Name}</a>

${Address}

</li>

</ul>

In the document ready is placed following code:

var markup = $("#template").html();

$.template("template", markup);

var data = [{ Name: "The name 1", Address: "The address 1"},

{ Name: "The name 2", Address: "The address 2"}];

var output = $.tmpl("template", data);

$("#template").html(output);

Results is:

<ul id="template">

<li>

<a alt="The name 1" href="${Name}">The name 1</a> The address 1</li>

<li><a alt="The name 2" href="${Name}">The name 2</a> The address 2

</li>

</ul>

Alt attribute is populated but href is not. Note that it works fine in the Google Chrome and IE8 (64bit)
