Datepicker don't show the selected date

[Chris]

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to KendoUI but what I have seen so far is really cool :)

Actually I'm trying to edit a date with a datepicker. When I initialize the datepicker a selected date won't be displayed and I don't know why.
Even if I call the basic datepicker by this:

$("#datum").kendoDatePicker({});

no selected date will be displayed althought dates can be selected.

My original code looks like this:

var value = "12.06.2012";

$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({

    culture: "de-DE",

    format: "dd.MM.yyyy",

    value: value

});

When I open the datepicker the correct value (12.06.2012) is selected in the "dropdown", but nothing is show in the datepicker's input... :( Btw: No errors in the Firebug console

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks and cheers,
Chris

solved:

I used a div instead of an input element. Perhaps this should be clarifed by the documentation :)
