I downloaded the trial version and did a sandbox to see if the Menu widget would work in our site. So far so good. One thing that I'd like our menus to do is expand down, even if the viewport is smaller than the height of the menu. Right now, it seems like the menu widget tries to move upward to stay within the viewport.

Is there a way to configure the menu to ignore the viewport?

How can I set my own text for tabStrip

Hi,

How can I set my own text for the tabStrip button on the footer.
This is important for localization. It seems that the build-in data-icon put its own text and need a way to use standard icon but override the text. Thank you.

<div data-role="footer">
                <div data-role="tabstrip">
                     <a href="content/views/doctorsearch.html" id="btnActionSearch" data-icon="search"></a>
                     <a href="content/views/settings.html" id="btnActionSettings" data-icon="settings"></a>
                </div>
            </div>

[Solved] How to reference specific record in dataSource

I am reading a JSON file as a dataSource (example below), and binding that data to a ListView.

===== dataSource definition =====
var data = new kendo.data.DataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: "json/data.json",
dataType: "json"
}
}
});

===== contents of data.json ===
[
{"id": "111", "location" : "Location A"},
{"id": "222", "location" : "Location B"}
.....
]

I would like to come back later and reference one of the elements in that datasource such as data[0].id, or data[0].location.

How do I go about exposing the data?

Text is decoded on .aspx page

Hi everybody!

I decided to slap this new Editor over an existing text area and see how it goes.

I have a .aspx page with a text box

<asp:TextBox ID="txtCreativeNotes" runat="server" Rows="5" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="420px" ClientIDMode="Static"></asp:TextBox>

So I

$(document).ready(function () {

$("#txtCreativeNotes").kendoEditor();

and it worked perfectly!

Then, I submitted the form using normal .aspx posting.

but on refresh the data renders in the editor as

<span style="color:#880015;">This is </span><strong><span style="font-family:'Courier New',Courier,monospace;color:#880015;">sparta</span></strong>

(This is also exactly what it looks like in the SQL database.)

Getting clicked-on chart element

Hi there,

Your chart documentation refers to the ability to get the DOM element associated with the series element just clicked on in the seriesClick event. However, in the example of a bar chart, it seems that the element you get is the SVG highlight element rather than the underlying bar element. I want to be able to change the style of the selected bar in the master chart in a master/detail chart scenario so is there any other way of accessing the actual bar element?

Cheers, Andrew.

Controls inside editor.

EDIT: I'm not wondering if this is possible anymore. :)
As long as designMode is on, I'm never going to get the behavior I'm looking for.

Wondering if this is even possible:

We're trying to use the editor as sort of a rudimentary form builder. I'd love to give people placeholders for the Kendo controls inside the editor. Say, for example, that they wanted to insert a date picker. To get a control formatted like a Kendo UI date picker, I'd have to insert something like this:

<span class="k-widget k-datepicker k-header" style="width: 150px;">

<span class="k-picker-wrap k-state-default k-widget">

<input id="dp" class="k-input" style="width: 150;" readonly="readonly">

<span class="k-select" unselectable="on">

<span class="k-icon k-icon-calendar" unselectable="on">select</span>

</span>

The problem with that of course is that they can mess up those span tags, drag the icon around, etc.

Is there any way to make that control un-editable inside the editor? Any other options?

Thanks!

Offline Web App - contentUrl

I currently have a 2 pane splitter ... the second pane has a relative reference to an html snippet for the contents of the 2nd pane.

$("#splitter").kendoSplitter({
panes: [
{ collapsible: true, resizable: false, size: "300px" },
{ collapsible: false, resiable: false, contentUrl: "content.htm" }

I am attempting to create a single page offline web application ... I've added an offline.manifest to the project and confirmed all the resources listed download successfully (using Chrome v19).

The initial rendering of default.htm succeeds; however, subsequent refreshes of default.htm hang on the xhr get of content.htm.

At this point I've kept everything connected and it appears the mere presence of item(s) (either default.htm or content.htm in the app cache) is fouling up the xhr get.

I've attached the necessary collateral for a repro ... any help is greatly appreciated as we are simply trying to figure out how to best structure our markup, etc. to support this particular application using Kendo.

Binding to aggregate value of datasource

Please forgive if this is a double post. I posed this question in the original thread in the "Preview Forum Thread" which is no longer accessible in the forum listing. So I thought I'd repost in an active forum.

I've been trying to display aggregate values in my charts. Both a pie chart and a bar chart. The basic idea is that I grab one table of data and then aggregate it into different displays. Via searching I've found an example for doing this in a pie chart. Basically we need to build our own series rather than being able to bind to the aggregate sum.

here's the post
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/dataviz/general-discussions/aggregate-pie-chart.aspx#2066234
here's the related jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/valchev/VzWdk/

I've managed to get it also working for bar charts as well

http://jsfiddle.net/yf9cF/

Any plans on making this feature available where we can bind to aggregate values when we group data?

Regards,

Chris
