Description eanon254 2013-10-29 08:42:12 UTC 
The syntax

    <div  data-bind="html: errorFlash"></div>

is conventional. However, the syntax

    <div  data-bind="{html: errorFlash}"></div>

also works. The code at
https://github.com/knockout/knockout/blob/master/src/binding/expressionRewriting.js
line 48 explicitly strips any leading brace from a binding string and ignores it, treating it as acceptable syntax.

The knockout syntax checker in Netbeans thinks that it's an error to surround a binding string with braces.

Shouldn't the two agree?
