Hello Alan,

To reference an external template you need to use its id like this:

var externalTemplateContent = $("#cart-grid-template").html();​

After that you should be able to call .clientRowTemplate(externalTemplateContent)

I did see that and tried it, I ended up doing something else, but will try your solution again next time, thanks

Glad you solved it already, could you share the solution that worked for you?

Thanks

I was converting a site from the old mvc wrappers to Kendo and had trouble with one grid with heaps of inline template hard to maintain, in the end I used listview, it has all I need to replace the grid and has ClientTemplateId,  Thanks

Hello guys,

In order to use an external template as client or client row template, you could compile it via the kendo.template method.
E.g.

<script id="columnTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    ...
</script>

<script>
    var myTemplate = kendo.template($('#columnTemplate').html());
</script>

.ClientRowTemplate("#=myTemplate(data)#");
