Exception when calling "render" on a View

[mgs]

If the view does not start with an opening bracket, an exception is thrown. For example try the following.

var view = new kendo.View(" <p>hey ho</p>");
view.render("#app");

Please regard the space character in front of the "p" element.

Hello Michael,

This behavior is related to a recent jQuery update (as the string can contain both selectors and html string). 

While the view can trim the input, I do not think that we should apply that performance penalty to every view instantiation - if you expect whitespace in the html string, you can trim the contents manually.

Hello Petyo,

thanks a lot for the explanation.

I did not know this change in jQuery. Moreover, if such an exception is thrown, I do not debug into Kendo and then into jQuery for finding the exact location of the problem. So I do not know, what is called in response to a "kendo.View" call.

Maybe you should insert a hint into the Kendo documentation, describing this potential problem.
