I wanted to find out what is the best practice for showing menu in the application if we are using KendoUI. Whether it should be rendered from the server side using <ul> <li> tags or whether we should add dynamically using a web-service.
I prepared a blog post with an example of how I did this but I am not too sure if this would be the recommended way going forward. - http://piyushbhatt.blogspot.com/2011/12/kendoui-adding-menu-using-web-service.html
Overall - I think we would need the functions in kendoUI objects' such a way that developer should not have to use selectors (like "li:last" or "li:first") etc and can work with the objects and methods only.
Again this is not direct question per say - but to know your thoughts on best practices and how you think people will be using various widgets in large applications.
