Views and templates in Kendo SPA

[Walid]

Hi, 

When working with Kendo SPA, what are the reasons(if any) for views in app to always include HTML content for them as part of Kendo templates?  

- Following sample below: 

<script id="index" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <span>Hello World!</span>
</script>
<script>
var index = new kendo.View('index');
</script>

 Is there any implication (maybe at DOM level) making more suitable to always include HTML view content within <script>?

Since it is possible to define views in my Kendo SPA app without making use of Kendo templates as follows...:

<div id="index">
<span>Hello World!</span>
</div>

<script>
var index = new kendo.View("#index");
</script>

 ...I was basically wondering about advantages/disadvantages from using one approach or another.

Thanks, 
Walid

Hello,

The only real difference here is that the templates are injected and parsed in the DOM on demand. Using DOM elements also works fine, though.
