Issues with columns.attributes & columns.headerAttributes demos

[AGB]

Have just tripped over an little issue with the columns.attributes & columns.headerAttributes demos not working as expected.

To demonstrate run the following dojos based on your API demos

https://dojo.telerik.com/ojIrefaF
https://dojo.telerik.com/IGIBaViH

and you will see neither the header or cell data is being aligned to the right.

This regression seems to have been introduced with the 2022.2.802 release when the .k-text-right class went from

.k-text-right {
    text-align: right!important;
}

to

.k-text-right {
    text-align: right ;
}

Now there was probably a good reason to remove the '!important' property but anybody running these demos now will be confused with the output.

Looking at the latest CSS (2023.1.314) I see you now have a '!k-text-right' style for this purpose so it looks like a little tweak to you demo pages is required.

May I also suggest you add a note in the Grid API documentation about 'CSS Specificity' because I suspect nine times out of ten the '!important' property will be required to ensure it is not overridden by any Kendo CSS.

Hi Alan,

Indeed there were some recent changes that require the important '!important' property. If you examine this official demo you will see that it is applied as follows:

attributes: {
      "class": "table-cell !k-text-right",
      style: "font-size: 14px" 
    }
...
headerAttributes: {
      "class": "table-header-cell !k-text-right",
      style: "font-size: 14px"
    }

Updated Dojo demos:

• https://dojo.telerik.com/ojIrefaF/2
• https://dojo.telerik.com/IGIBaViH/2

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Nikolay

Hi Nikolay,

Thank you for confirming the changes but my initial posting was more related to the API documentation and demos

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/configuration/columns.attributes
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/configuration/columns.headerattributes

Which are still demonstrating things using the old 'k-text-right' class which no longer works in this context.

Hi Alan,

I have updated the documentation and you can see it in the links shared in your last reply.

As a token of gratitude for reporting this, I have added some Telerik points to your account.
