background image on view?

I have the following view:

<div data-role="view" style="background: green;" id="tabstrip-card" data-init="cardViewInit" data-title="My card" data-layout="mobile-tabstrip">

content goes here

</div>

I've tried various things to get a background color on my view (actually want a background image), without any luck. I can put a div inside the view div and set it's height/width and apply a background to that, but that seems a bit unnecessary. Is there a way I can get a background on the view itself?

using function for pageSize: behaves unexpected

I am trying to set the pageSize dynamically. If i do:
localStorage.getItem('pageSize') || 10,

i do not have a problem.

But if i do:
pageSize: function () {
return parseInt(localStorage.getItem('pageSize')) || 10;
},

the data-source gets reloaded multiple times and NaN appears on the bottom of the grid - page NaN of 100 instead of 1 of 100

Thanks

Cursor gets inserted before Zero with IE, leads to _many_ user errors

When tabbing into a numeric text box, on the webkit browsers when you 'tab' into a numeric text box (with default value of 0), the cursor gets inserted after the 0. Given a table with 3 columns of numeric boxes 3-tab-4-tab-5 yields 3,4,5 as the leading zero just gets dropped. In IE, because the cursor goes after the zero, 3-tab-4-tab-5 yields 30,40,50. I have tried the latest release and stable, and the bug persists.

I know I can select the text when focusing the numeric box using the hack here. But is there a way to make IE behave like the other browsers without selecting the text?

Unbounded callbacks

If I declare a view as

<div data-role="view"

data-title="Form Unexpected but nice"

data-init="ns.viewA.init"

data-before-show="ns.viewA.beforeShow"

data-show="ns.viewA.show"

data-model="ns.viewA.viewModel">

...

<select data-bind="source:options,value:underlying.optionId"

data-text-field="display"

data-value-field="id"></select>

...

</div>

Then declare the js as

01.(function($, kendo, ns){

02. var model = {

03. options: [],

04. underlying: null

05. };

06.

07. model.bind('change', function (e) {

08. var t;

09. console.info('field %s changed.', e.field);

10. if (e.field === 'underlying.optionId') {

11. t = viewModel.options.singleOrDefault('id', model.underlying.optionId);

12. viewModel.set('model.underlying.derivedValue', t.someValue);

13. }

14. });

15.

16. ns.viewA = {

17. init: function(){

18. // populate options

19. ...

20. },

21. beforeShow:function(){

22. },

23. show: function(){

24. model.set('underlying', {

25. optionId: null,

26. derivedValue: 'Not Set'

27. });

28. },

29. viewModel: model

30. };

31.}(jQuery, kendo, myApp));

I've two issues, One if I properly instantiate the viewModel in the view.init, then the select source binding barfs because the array is not set when the binding is invoked. What can I do to have the viewmodel late bound? I've tried using kendo.bind(e.view.element, model) but this has the undesirable side-effect of destroying my

1.<ul data-role='listview'><li>static option/information</li></ul>

Two, when using SPA every visit to this view invokes another repetition of the 'change' event handler. Thus, the first time I visit this view, the change handler is accurately invoked only once. The second visit invokes the change handler twice. Third view yields three executions and so on. I'm assuming this has to do with the binding engine retaining a hook to the previous underlying object. What can I do to ensure the change is only fired the one time for the current underlying regardless of the view count?

Can I temporarily disable dragging of kendoWindow?

When a user 'full screens' a kendoWindow I would like to disable its drag capabilities until it is 'restored'.

Can I do that?
I attempted to use setOptions but that didn't seem to work.

UI Issue with windows-phone-7 project with kendo mobile and phonegap

Hi Guys,

I am using Kendo UI Trail Version "v2013.2.716" for mobile development with phonegap, currently we support Android/iOS/WP7. I am trying to run a basic demo with Phonegap and Kendo UI. Its running fine, but i can't see the UI theme its like a blank screen.

I check here in kendo ui forum, they told there is no support for WP7 because lack of CSS3 features in IE9 browsers. I want to know whether this kendo mobile ""v2013.2.716" version will support wp7.

If not, it will support WP8 latest one???

Opening several windows at once smoothness

Hi,

I have a site where it is possible up to 15 kendo windows could open all at once. And I have noticed a decrease in animation quality once we go past 5-6 windows.
I understand why this occurs, what I am wondering is if there is a better way for me to open these windows.

Mainly there is one time when so many windows will open at once, and once more when a user leaves (the windows close).

Is there something I can do to help keep this animation smoother when so many are coming on at once?

How could I open one at a time? Open 1, wait until its animation is completely finished, then open the next? I know that 'activate', according to the documentation, is called once the animation is complete but it does not seem that way, but maybe that is do to something else I am doing.

Thanks
