Onclick not working in kendo MVC Grid's Client Template

Question

I have following code in my Razor View. Grid displays link but Onclick event doesn't fire. What should i do to make sure it's wired properly with the event handler

columns.Template(c => c).ClientTemplate("# if (IsVerified == true) { #" +
                                                                  "<text><a  onclick=\"show('#=data#') href='\\#'\">View</a></text>" +
                                                                  "# } else if(IsVerified == false) { #" +
                                                                  "<text><a onclick=\"verify('#=data#') href='\\#'\">Verify</a></text>" +
                                                                  "# } #").Title("Action").Width("50px").HtmlAttributes(new {style = "text-align:center"});

One of the Event handler is as following

function show(e) {
    var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
    var model = grid.dataItem($(event.target).closest("tr"));
}

Please try to change from

var model = grid.dataItem($(event.target).closest("tr"));

to

var model = grid.dataItem($(e.target).closest("tr"));

because pass e not event
