Grid dataItem() function - eq(1) is John not Jane

[Chris]

HI

The wrong description in online document.

jquery eq(index), the index is 0-based, so the comment 'displays "Jane Doe"' was WRONG : 

dataItem
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-dataItem

EXAMPLE - GET THE DATA ITEM TO WHICH THE FIRST TABLE ROW IS BOUND

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    { field: "name" },
    { field: "age" }
  ],
  dataSource: [
      { name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
      { name: "John Doe", age: 33 }
  ]
});
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var data = grid.dataItem("tr:eq(1)");
console.log(data.name); // displays "Jane Doe"  <-------------------- the comment was WRONG

Best regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to comment on the example in the Kendo UI Grid. 

We described the selection from a visual perspective, that is the first row. The demo actually can be improved by changing the selector, because will get the table headers. Instead, it is better to target the ("tbody:eq(0)"). 

var data = grid.dataItem("tbody tr:eq(0)");

If you have seen anything else which you feel should be different, please be advised that contribution to our public documentation is always welcome, here is how:

As for the demo and changing the documentation, I will have it fixed by tomorrow or beginning of next week.

Kind Regards,
