Unexpected Token "<" in grid template

[Dan]

I am using a nested grid. The nested grid is inside of script tags and looks like this. For some reason when rendering it throws "Unexpected Token '<'. Im unsure why. It renders fine if I pull it out and remove .ToClientTemplate()

<script id="template">
           @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Student>()
               .Name("Student#=Student_ID#")
                 .Width(1500)
                 .HtmlAttributes(new { style="margin-right:20px;height: fit-content;font-size:small" })
                 .Columns(columns =>
                 {
                   columns.Bound(o => o.StudentName).Width(300)
                   columns.Bound(o => o.TimeStamp).Width(300).Title("Date").Format("{0:G}");
                     columns.Bound(o => o.Details).Width(900);

                 })
                 .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                    .Ajax()
                    .ServerOperation(false)
                    .PageSize(10)
                    .Read(read => read.Action("GetDetails", "Grid", new{ studentName= "#=StudentName#" }))
                    )
                .Pageable(x => x.Refresh(true))
                .Sortable()
                .ToClientTemplate()
           )

</script>

Hi Dan,

First, thank you for sharing your template as this helped determine the issue.  

The template should include a type of text/kendo-tmpl or something similar like the implementation used in this Kendo UI Grid DetailTemplate Live Demo. 

<script id="template" type="text/kendo-tmpl">
           @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Student>()
                //...
                .ToClientTemplate()
           )

</script>

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
