Custom Command not working

[David]

I have seen several posts on this but I haven't found a solution.

My grid has a custom command that points to a javascript function:

$("#history_grid").kendoGrid({

columns: [

{ field: "type", title: "Document Type" },

{ field: "entity", title: "To/From" },

{ field: "date_received", title: "Date Sent/Received" },

{ field: "path", title: " ", template: '<a href="${ path }">Link to file</a>', width: "80px" },

{ command: { name: "ViewFile", text: "ViewFile", click: viewDoc }, title: " ", width: "100px" }

],

scrollable: true,

autobind: false,

dataSource: history_datasource

});

 

function viewDoc(e) {

e.preventDefault();

alert("Hello, world!");

};

Clicking the custom command button does nothing.
Help?
