Set input tag value in Underscore template

Question

I am trying to set the input tag value from the javascript object passed to it.

Assume item has these values item = ['item one', 'item two']

<input type="text" 
        name="choice" 
        val=<%= item[0] %>
        data_id=<%= item[1] %>/>

I expect the output like this

<input type="text" 
        name="choice" 
        val="item one"
        data_id="item two"/>

But the actual generated html is :

   <input type="text" 
        name="choice" 
        val="item"
        "one"
        data_id="item" />

What is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

As per mu is too short

comments, I quoted the attributes in the template and it worked fine.

<input type="text" 
        name="choice" 
        val="<%= item[0] %>"
        data_id="<%= item[1] %>"/>
