Hi there,
I'm evaluating the use of the Telerik MVC extensions in an ASP.NET MVC 3 project. We have a key application requirement that the site must operate fully without the use of JavaScript, as some of our largest clients disallow all scripting.
The Telerik grid works without JS enabled for almost everything I've tried so far: sorting, paging, commands etc all function very well. The only sticking point I've come across so far is that the inbuilt Filterable() function doesn't work at all without JS enabled. The filter icons show, but clicking on them does nothing.
I realise that any implementation of filtering within the grid is likely to be quite clumsy (involving multiple page postbacks, additional buttons etc), but is there any way this can be implemented without us having to roll our own filtering outside of the grid?
I appreciate that this is a fairly unusual requirement, but it's a stumbling block for adoption of the toolkit at the moment.
Many thanks,
Simon
