How do you dynamically add to the model?

[sitefinitysteve]

Setup: I have a master model, and my page has a bunch of widgets on it.

So I want to have the widgets powered by MVVM instead of wiring everything up manually in jQuery.

Here's the sample

So what am I doing wrong here?...why is the event not firing?

Hi Steve,

I guess the problem is that layoutViewModel.gadgets.widget1 is not initialized at the time when the HTML is loaded, so the binding will not work. After adding an event handler to the root model and calling gadgets.widget1.doneloading inside it everything works fine.

Please have a look at the modified sample: http://jsbin.com/epijuw/19/edit

HTH,
