    Hi, I'm wondering why I can't get the reference of my kendo menu. The code is wrapped inside a document ready of jquery.

    var menu = $("#menu").data("kendoMenu");
 
        menu.bind("select", function (e) {
            var menuItemHeader = $('#menu li').first();
            var menuItemHeaderValue = $(menuItemHeader).find('.k-link').text();
 
            alert(menuItemHeaderValue);
        });

    Firebug is saying that my "menu" is undefined but when I inspect the $('#menu'), I'm seeing some kendo events and properties.
    Did I miss something?

    Hello Paolo,

    Please make sure that you have no JS errors, the above code is placed after the Menu initialization script, and there is only one jQuery instance on the page.

    Hi Sir,

    I'm not seeing any errors on firebug other than the the "menu" is undefined. I'm using razor to initialize the Kendo menu, is it alright? or should I use the js way of initializing the kendo menu in order to get the reference of it?

    Hello Paolo,

    In case you are using the MVC wrapper of the Kendo UI Menu, your Javascript code should come after the Menu.

    If you need further assistance, please open a support ticket and send a runnable demo, which reproduces the unexpected behavior.
