Setting filter="contains" from markup

[Andreas]

Hi,

 I try setting the filter property in markup but doesn't do too much. 

<input id="orders" style="width: 100%;" data-text-field="ShipName" filter="contains"/>

Setting it from jquery works fine. Am I using wrong attribute name?

 

Thanks

Hello Andreas,

The reason for the inability to set the filter as you intended to do so is the fact that the data attributes are not initialized. Please refer to the following documentation article, providing more insights on the matter:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/data-attribute-initialization

Hope this would help.

Regards,

I was using the wrong attribute name, it should have been data-filter="contains"...
