Initialize context menu before its target

[BigzampanoXXl]

Hello,

is it possible to initialize a context menu before its target is existing in the DOM? I want to have the context menu on a grid which is initialized sometime later. Here is a simple example which will show you what I tried to do:

$("#context-menu").kendoContextMenu({
        target: "#target"
  });

$('body').append('<div id="target">Target</div>');

I know that it would work if I append the div before I initialize the context menu but I would like to define it for every element with the same ID no matter when it will appear in the DOM. Is there any possibility to do this?

Thank you

Hi Dietmar,

The desired behavior is not supported, because the ContextMenu needs to attach a handler to the target element during initialization.

Hi Dimo,

thank you for your reply.

You should check the documentation page of the ContextMenu. A lot of the examples there don't work (e.g.: the "enable" example):
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/contextmenu#methods-enable

Hi Dietmar,

Yes, we are in the process of fixing such snippets across all API pages.
