Grid column conditional ClientTemplate breaks grid

[Daniel]

I am so frustrated with this. I need to put an if statement into a ClientTemplate on an MVC grid. I have this :

columns.Bound(p => p.ValidERAGenerated)
    .ClientTemplate(
        "# if (ValidERAGenerated == true) { #" +
        "<button class=\"btn btn-primary btn-sm\">Get ERA <span class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-file\"></span></button>"
        + "# } #"
    )

If I just have the button by itself in the ClientTemplate, it works fine. However if I add the if statement like above, then the grid will no longer load any data. In fact, nothing in $(document).ready will run when that if statement is present. I have tried changing the if statement to simply say "if (true)" and "if (1==1)" thinking that maybe the problem is something with my ValidERAGenerated field, but that doesn't help. I cannot get any conditional statement to work like the documentation says it should. $(document).ready simply will not run at all when that conditional is there and the grid will not load any data. It appears to just break all javascript.

I finally figured it out. It was because I had another column that had a dollar sign in the format.

columns.Bound(p => p.CheckAmount).Title("Check Amt.").Format("${0:n2}").Width(100);

That is how I had been formatting the money. When I removed that dollar sign then everything ran successfully. I changed the format to say Format("{0:c2}") and now it is showing a dollar sign and working correctly.
