Cascading DropDownList not working in editor

[Chris]

I am trying to set up a cascading drop down list using the resources of a scheduler.

The drop down lists work fine, but when i try to declare the parent/child cascade using the 'cascadeFrom' the cascade does not work at all.

 

Here is my code:

<div id="resourcesContainer">
</div>

<script>
    jQuery(function () {
        var container = jQuery("#resourcesContainer");
        var resources = jQuery("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler").resources;
        for (var resource = 0; resource < resources.length; resource++)
        {
            jQuery(kendo.format('<div class="k-edit-label"><label for="{0}">{1}</label></div>', resources[resource].name, resources[resource].title)).appendTo(container);
            var divID = resources[resource].name + "kdd";
            var labcont = jQuery(kendo.format('<div id="{0}" class="k-edit-field"></div>', divID)).appendTo(container);

            if (resources[resource].name !== "LocationRoom") {
                jQuery(kendo.format('<select data-bind="value: {0}">', resources[resource].field))
                        .appendTo(labcont)
                        .width(300)
                        .kendoDropDownList({
                            filter: "contains",
                            dataTextField: resources[resource].dataTextField,
                            dataValueField: resources[resource].dataValueField,
                            dataSource: resources[resource].dataSource,
                            valuePrimitive: resources[resource].valuePrimitive,
                            optionLabel: "Select...",
                            template: kendo.format('<span class="k-scheduler-mark" style="background-color:\#= data.{0}?{0}:"none" \#"></span>\#={1}\#', resources[resource].dataColorField, resources[resource].dataTextField)
                        });
            }
            else if(resources[resource].name === "LocationRoom")
            {
                jQuery(kendo.format('<select data-bind="value: {0}">', resources[resource].field))
                       .appendTo(labcont)
                       .width(300)
                       .kendoDropDownList({
                           autoBind: false,
                           cascadeFrom: "Locationkdd",
                           optionLabel: "Select location first...",
                           dataTextField: resources[resource].dataTextField,
                           dataValueField: resources[resource].dataValueField,
                           dataSource: resources[resource].dataSource,
                           valuePrimitive: resources[resource].valuePrimitive,
                           template: kendo.format('<span class="k-scheduler-mark" style="background-color:\#= data.{0}?{0}:"none" \#"></span>\#={1}\#', resources[resource].dataColorField, resources[resource].dataTextField)
                       });
            }
        }
    });
</script>

 

HOWEVER, if i change jQuery(kendo.format('<select data-bind="value: {0}">', resources[resource].field)).appendTo(labcont).Width(300)..... to jQuery("#" + divID).Width(300).... it works, but obviously the MVVM binding is completely lost.

Any ideas?

Nevermind. I changed it up to get the data using ajax calls instead of resources and that fixed it.
