    Hi guys,

    Been working with the new Action Sheet control and it's been really great! Just struggling with one thing at the moment.

    I'm trying to open a Kendo ActionSheet control in javascript with the following sort of approach:

    $("#MyTestActionSheet").data("kendoActionSheet").open();

    I assume the open method (Which I found in the documentation) is correct but i'm not accessing the Kendo data object correctly to call it. I've tried using "kendoActionSheet" (based on how it is done with other controls) but It doesn't seem to exist and I'm struggling to find documentation on how to do it.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

    Hello Rob,

    All Kendo Mobile widgets have the mobile prefix. Hence the correct syntax for your scenario should be: 
    $("#MyTestActionSheet").data("kendoMobileActionSheet").open();

    This mechanism doesn't work in Blackberry-Playbook & IPad. It error out -> Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of null Any workarounds?

    Hello Maddy,

    Can you reproduce this error with our online demos or it happens just in your project? If that is the case I will need a small but runnable project in order to check what is going on exactly. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    Hi Iliana,

    Simply the code :  $("#MyTestActionSheet").data("kendoMobileActionSheet").open() doesn't work in Playbook or IPad (in tablet). I want to open the ActionSheet manually from JavaScript in both mobile & tablet devices. It works fine in mobile device but not in tablet.

    Hi Maddy,

    In order to get the open() method of the Kendo UI Mobile ActionSheet to work properly in tablets you should define the target for the PopOver. We will update the corresponding topic from our online documentation in a short period of time. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
