Using KnockoutJS with detached nodes

Question

What I\'m looking to do is detach some nodes using jQuery\'s detach method, update my ViewModel, attach my nodes back, and have the values be updated.

Is this possib

Answer 1

What happens here is when you call detach method, ko loses bindings to detached nodes. The easiest way to make it work is to re-apply bindings each time you detach and attach nodes.

Edit: With that workaround in place, keep in mind there may be performance implications. Perhaps you can re-think the way you approach the problem - can you move nodes to a different, hidden location instead of detaching them? Can you simply hide them?
