title: underscore template error on converting from old
body: <p>I tried to convert this jQuery template into an underscorejs template but doesn't make sense why its not working. Can anyone explain why? </p>
  
  <pre><code>     el: $('#contents'),
      template: _.template( MenuTemplate ),
      //template: $('#item-tmpl').template(),
  
      render: function ()
      {
      this.$el.empty();
  
      //$.tmpl(this.template, this.model.toArray()).appendTo(this.el);
      // Old jquery template
  
  
      //this.$el.html( this.template( this.model.toArray()).appendTo(this.el) );
      //underscore template
  
          return this;
      }
  </code></pre>
