Regarding this code in initWidget:
result = $(element).data("kendo" + widget.fn.options.name);
if (!result) {
result = new widget(element, options);
} else {
result.setOptions(options);
}
If the widget exists it is not created, but it's options are still set.
This should not be done, I think?
At least it gives troubles with in my case width a tabstrip.
I have this: <div data-role"tabstrip" data-animation='{"open":{"effects":"fadeIn"}}'/>
At creation of the tabstrip that animation.open is extended with duration: 200 and show: true.
But when a second time kendo.bind() is call the options on the tabstrip are set again, but the extension is not done.
So when I select a tab the activateTab function is called, then the animation.open does not have the show:true field, so my tab content will disappear.
So if after creation of a widget somehow the options are manupulated, that same manupulation should be done in the setOptions function.
Or don't calll that setOptions method at all. It would overright changes the I perhaps made to the options after creation of the widget (or can I not change options after creation? Not sure about that).
Of course in this case I can easily workaround it.
