I'd rather do some DOM manipulation in an external Javascript(actually Typescript) than the inline templating javascript syntax that Kendo uses, but I'm having trouble with when the DOM is ready so I can apply my changes to these elements.   I don't think $(Document).ready() works in my Typescript constructor that gets called everytime the row is expanded for the details.  Is there an event I can subscribe to in order to know when I can start manipulating the DOM?

Hi James,

I recommend using the detailInit event of the Grid.
