I've been using knockout for a while, but in writing up some code examples this one has me stumped. The code works exactly as I'm expecting, where the click button toggles the visible, but I'm still getting an error:

Because you are closing your anchor tag: <a />, it is getting rendered in a strange way where an extra anchor tag is outside of the foreach and not in a context where answerClick is a valid function.

I am not sure what content that you want to use for your link, but you need to have an opening and closing tag like:

<a class="hiddenButton" href="#" data-bind="click: answerClick">link</a>

Not sure if you intended to wrap the content in that link, but that is where your issue lies.
