Why does AngularJS ng-click not work within <td> tag?

Hi people,

I am using the AngularJS ng-click to show content on the page when the user clicks the necessary button.

When the I have the line of code(button) responsible for doing this in a table <td> tag the content doesn't appear when the button is accessed.

However when the the same button is placed out of the table tag completely it works fine.

Find the code snippet below

<table> <tr> <td><button class="btn btn-small btn-success" ng-click="print=true" type="button">Confirmation</button></td> </tr> </table>

<div ng-show="print"> <h1>Hello World</h1> </div>

Basically this button work unless it is outside of the table tag, why does this occur and how do I solve this problem?

Thanks in advice.

Although the snippet says different, the H1 tag is wrapped in a div as follows 

<div ng-show="print"</div>
