Passing ObservableArray to TabStrip.append

[Sunny]

​When creating tabs within TabStrip, I can pass in an array of objects with Tab information to $el.kendoTapStrip().data('KendoTabStrip').append() function, and it works fine.

But if the tab information is in a kendo.data.ObservableArray (which all arrays within a kendo.observable object get transformed to), then it fails the "array check" within the _create function of Kendo, and consequently tries to get evaluated as a DOM element.

In 2014.4.1119 the line currently is "if (plain || $.isArray(tab)) {", maybe could be expanded to include this counterpart to read:  "if (plain || $.isArray(tab) || tab instanceof kendo.data.ObservableArray) {", or something to that nature.

Thanks!

Also, the next line would be changed from "tab = $.isArray(tab) ? tab : [tab];" to "tab = !plain ? tab : [tab];"

Hello Sunny,

Thank you for reporting this. It has been logged in the Kendo UI Core repository. As a workaround, you can call the ObservableArray toJSON method when passing it to the append method.
