Dropdownlist not showing on popup edit template

[David]

This code in my view is not producing a visible dropdown list in the browser:

edit template code
 @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                .Name("Sex")
                .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["Sexes"])
                .DataValueField("SexId")
                .DataTextField("SexName")
                
            )


resulting html

<input id="Sex" name="Sex" type="text" value="2"/> <script>
	jQuery(function(){jQuery("#Sex").kendoDropDownList({dataSource:[{"SexId":1,"SexName":"Male"},{"SexId":2,"SexName":"Female"}],dataTextField:"SexName",dataValueField:"SexId"});});
	</script>

What am I doing wrong here?  Please help :)

Hi David,


Your code looks valid, however it seems that there are missing references to the KendoUI scripts in the project. You can check the JavaScript dependencies article for more information how to include them.

For your convenience I prepared a small sample, based on the information that you provided so far and attached it to this thread.

Hi Vladimir,

I have the same problem. Your sample works becouse it is not a Editor Template open by a Grid(edit mode Popup).

If I use 

 @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList().Name("Sex").BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["Sexes"]).DataValueField("SexId").DataTextField("SexName"))
in the (Editor template for grid editable)Popup Window I get an INPUT Type=Text

If I use 
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList().Name("Sex").BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["Sexes"]).DataValueField("SexId").DataTextField("SexName"))

in the Index View, works perfectly.


My Version is: 2012.3.1114

I am using VS 2012 sp1 and MVC 4

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi William,

Loading widgets inside Kendo Grid Custom PopUp Editor is not related to the original topic of the current tread  - may I kindly ask you to open a new support thread with more details about your current setup?
