ComboBox Width

[U]

I am trying out the ComboBox widget in our product. We already have html pulldowns and I am generating the comboBox from the existing pulldowns, seems to work great but with a fixed width by default. I figured out a way to initialize the comboBox with correct width I want, $("#mypulldown").width(computedWidth).kendoComboBox(). This works well too, but when the pulldown values are updated/changed comboBox width remains same. How do I get the width updated to correct size?
Here is the link to jsfiddle,

Hi Uma,

Actually, the scenario you are trying to implement demand a non standard behavior of the select element. By design, when the select element is rendered it takes a width needed for the longest option to show. When the pulldown values are updated/changed the comboBox width remains same. In order to avoid this and get the width updated to correct size, you need to implement a custom logic and loop through all the options and get their width (count the symbols, check the font size etc.).

We got it working by removing the style attribute in the underlying select, before getting the width second time.
