For some reason the element that displays the down arrow on the kendo dropdownlist always has the inner text set to "select" so the letters "se" appear hovering over that dropdown button arrow. I'm not sure why this is happening, but the quickest and most global way for me was to get rid of it was to override the element's css and set the text color to transparant like so:
.k-dropdown-wrap > .k-select > span {
color:transparent;
}
Is there somewhere else that I can just remove the "select" inner text of this element? It really shouldn't be there.
I'm on the latest kendo ui.
Thanks,
Michael
