I have a situation where I build a div container dynamically that has other html elements inside bonded to my knockout view model. It works up to the point where I call a method on my knockout view model that needs to redraw the whole div. After the redraw knockout stops working.
for example:
calendar += ('<div class=month-nav-container><div class=nav-prev data-bind=click: $root.showPreviousMonthOnPrevMonthBtnClick ><<<</div><span class=month-name-calendar>' + monthNames[month] + '</span><div class=nav-next data-bind=click: $root.showNextMonthOnNextMonthBtnClick >>>></div></div>');
I build my calendar control like so of course this is just part of it, but I hope you get the general Idea.
my knockout view model method:
self.showPreviousMonthOnPrevMonthBtnClick = function () {
alert(prev);
var $calendar = $(#calendar);
$calendar.empty();
////// previous month
if (self.calendarDisplayDate.month == 0) {
$calendar.calendarWidget({ month: 12, year: self.calendarDisplayDate.year - 1 });
} else {
$calendar.calendarWidget({ month: self.calendarDisplayDate.month - 1, year: self.calendarDisplayDate.year});
}
}
On my page load I build my calendar div, then I call ko.applyBindings() to my view model and it works. But when I click on the btn that calles my previous month method which needs to redraw calendar according to the right month, knockout stops working. I redraw the whole parent div that holds all the knockout bindings. Does anyone know solution to my problem. I need to redraw the div that has KO bindings inside so maybe what i'm looking for is some kind of bindings refresh method of Knockout ?
