title: Knockout.js Basic Example - What is causing this databinding to fail?
body: <p>Attempting the most basic example of Knockout.js possible on their documentation page:
  <a href="http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/observables.html" rel="nofollow">http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/observables.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Looks like I have everything setup like the documentation is asking for, and I'm not getting any errors on the page, but the span should display the binding of "personName" - which is 'Bob'.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I run the page all that appears is "The name is".  Bob is nowhere to be found.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Knockout Practice&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;script type='text/javascript' src='javascript/jquery-1.6.4.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type='text/javascript' src='javascript/jquery-tmpl.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type='text/javascript' src='javascript/knockout-1.2.1.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;    
  
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  
      var myViewModel = {
      personName: 'Bob',
      personAge: 123
      };
  
      ko.applyBindings(myViewModel);  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body&gt; 
     The name is &lt;span data-bind="text: personName"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  
  
  &lt;/body&gt; 
  
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something missing in the documentation, or am I missing something?</p>
