Binding functions with correct context, in templates

[andrewdavey]

When binding a function to a click (in a template) the "this" of the function is not set to the view model.
Execute

Instead, I have to do this:
Execute

Can this be improved to match the former example?

Good point - I've just commited a tweak that hopefully does just what you want. Please try the latest source code version from http://github.com/SteveSanderson/knockout/tree/master/build/output/ and see if it does.

It will set 'this' to be whatever "data" value the template is using (i.e., $data if you're using the default template engine), so if you have nested templates, it will use the "data" value from the current level of nesting. This is much more useful than the previous behaviour of not setting any particular "this" value when invoking click/submit/etc binding functions.
