jQuery 'has no method' error when attempting to render a template

This is probably a dumb ques开发者_Go百科tion, but I've been beating my head at it long enough.

I have a template built for use with jQuery .tmpl(). I can successfully select it with $("#templateId"), but calling $("#templateId").tmpl(data) results in a TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'tmpl'.

It looks like an issue with jQuery's method definitions, but tmpl is in the core, right? Is there a conflict with UI?

Running jQuery 1.6.4, UI 1.8.16

No it's an officially supported plugin, you can get the latest here

It seems you're not using the tmpl plugin required: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-tmpl

tmpl is a plugin, you need to download/install it before use it. http://api.jquery.com/jquery.tmpl/
