  1. POobservable not updating when in a hidden div
    text
    copied!<p>I have an observable binding to a textarea within a hidden div like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;span title="sales comment" data-bind="attr: { id: 'sales-'+year() }" style="cursor :pointer;"&gt; &lt;img src="information.png" alt="Add comment" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;div data-bind="attr: { id: 'sales-'+year()+'_content' }" style="display : none;"&gt; &lt;textarea data-bind="value: salesComment, valueUpdate: 'keydown'"&gt; &lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>and viewModel</p> <pre><code>var FinancialYearViewModel = function(data, parent) { var self = this; self.year = ko.observable(); self.salesComment = ko.observable(); }; ko.applyBindings(new FinancialHistoryViewModel(data)); var data = {"year": "2012", "salesComment": "sales comment"} </code></pre> <p>The hidden div is used to populate the content of a qtip tooltip like this:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $("span[title]").each(function(i) { content = $("#" + this.id + "_content").html(); $(this).qtip({ content: { text: content }, show: { event: 'click' }, hide: { event : 'unfocus'} }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>The viewModel binds ok and qtip displays the hidden div as its content as required. However when the textarea value changes the viewModel does not update.</p> <p>It does work when I remove the inline css from the div, i.e:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div data-bind="attr: { id: 'sales-'+year()+'_content' }"&gt; &lt;textarea data-bind="value: salesComment, valueUpdate: 'keydown'"&gt; &lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>But I need to hide the contents of the div by default as it's used only when a user views a qtip.</p> <p>Any ideas why this css is preventing the observable from updating the viewModel?</p>
