Backbone.js: Template variable in element attribute doesn't work

I have the following template:

<a href="{{test_url}}>Test</a>

But it doesn't work, instead the {{}} becomes html enco开发者_运维知识库ded in the output.

How do I prevent this?

Assuming you are using the default templating engine that comes with Backbone.js (which actually comes from Underscore.js), then the syntax would be:

<a href="<%= test_url %>">Test</a>

Assuming that test_url exists in the data object you are passing to the template. Also, make sure that you are passing a plain old JS object (this.model.toJSON()) to the template function or else the resolution won't happen.

If it turns out you are using a different templating engine, please let us know what engine it is AND provide us with the view code that is rendering the template.
