Best way to put a datepicker on a heading (h1)?

We have a page that displays statistics for a month. When you go to the page the main heading is November 2012 (or whatever month is selected).

What would be the best way to use the datepicker to allow the users to click the date and get the drop down, to select months?

I don't want the h1 to be an input.

[Solved] Bug when switching tab

I think I have found a bug in the dropdownlist demo:

http://demos.kendoui.com/web/dropdownlist/index.html

Tested with chrome. If you click on the dropdownlist control, the list shows up, now while the list is open, switch to another Chrome tab and then come back. Now the control acts weird, when you click on it it opens and closes immediately.

So if you switch tab while the dropdownlist is open, somethign breaks.

Editor can't handle absolute URL in background-image style

I have this bug in Telerik ASP MVC extensions but apparently Kendo UI inherited it from MVC extensions
Steps to reproduce:

1) go to http://demos.kendoui.com/web/editor/api.html
2) set value
<div style='background-image:url(http://demos.kendoui.com/content/shared/styles/sprite.misc.png)' >test</div>
3) click get value button

Expected value is
<div style='background-image:url(http://demos.kendoui.com/content/shared/styles/sprite.misc.png)'>test</div>
but instead we get
<div style="background-image:url(http;">test</div>

Some ideas for theme creation

Disclaimer. While this post is done here I think this idea applies to all Telerik Products.

Most of us here are Coders and not Designers. There are however tons of good designers around so I thought Telerik could try something I thought of.

Maybe you guys have heard of the Site Themeforest and it's sister sites. This is a great resource for us who are design handicapped (somewhat at least).

So this is my idea.
Why not encourage all those great designers to create themes not only for KendoUI but also WPF etc? I think we could get some amazing stuff if the designers were given some good incentives (ie money). Maybe a joint push from Telerik and the men behind Themeforest?

Also. Why not have some popular themes for the mobile theme designer, ie themes made by others like you get in JQuery Mobile and JQuery UI?

Some ideas for Telerik and the Community to think on.

[Solved] Date formating in the grid does not work when model is defined outside of DataSource

Hello,

I have a model containing the date field which is defined standalone and the Datasource which is using the model.
I am trying to format the dates in grid column, but I keep getting " /Date(1344636000000)/ " instead of the formatted date.
The sample : http://jsfiddle.net/xpista/wWsZD/3/

However - if I define the model inside the DataSource, the formatting is working as expected: http://jsfiddle.net/xpista/m4Tr4/

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks, Stefan

How to make foreign key column switchabel?

Dear fellow warriors,

I'm experimenting with the foreign key example with the aim to make the foreign key column, so that the user can toggle between the foreign key values and the foreign key texts. I couldn't find API-calls for such a thing so I tried this:

var foreignKeyGrid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid"

);

delete

foreignKeyGrid.columns[1].values;  //deletes the foreign key mappings from the "Category"-Column

foreignKeyGrid.refresh();

This doesn't have any effect, the grid still shows the category names instead of the category ids. Any ideas how I could achieve the desired behaviour? (next step would be to toggle back, i.e. show the category names again. Next step would be to connect all of this with a UI-Toggle-Switch)

BTW the refresh call isn't my preferred one for this problem, as it re-requests the data from the DataSource - this causes extra network traffic for remote data grids, is there an API-call for a simple client-side redraw?

Many thanks for your advice,
Thomas

[Solved] MVC - Range validation on a field that is not required

In my view model I have a nullable decimal field that is not required, but if a value is entered, it must be within a specified range:

[Range(0.01, 1.00)]

public decimal? Percentile { get; set; }

If I use either of the following approaches in my view and don't enter any values into the field, the range rule triggers and prevents submission:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Percentile, new { @class = "k-textbox k-input" })

@Html.Kendo().NumericTextBoxFor(m => m.Percentile)

This is the HTML rendered by the @Html.TextBoxFor(...)

<input id="AllGuidelines_0__Percentile" class="k-textbox k-input" type="text" value="" name="AllGuidelines[0].Percentile" data-val-range-min="0.01" data-val-range-max="1" data-val-range="The field Percentile must be between 0.01 and 1." data-val-number="The field Starting Percentile must be a number." data-val="true">

I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is that the intended behavior?

Thanks

TreeList Style Grid?

I need to create a grid that works more like the RadTreeList does, in that you have a grid, but you can expand and collaps rows by a hierarchical navigator.

Is this somehow possible to do using KendoGrid? Should I use KendoTreeView instead?

Anyone have any sample code that can illustrate how to do this?

Preferably, it would be nice to be able to bind it to an xml structure like this:

<Data>

<Employee>

<Name>Mary</Name>

<EmpType>Executive</EmpType>

<Salary>65000</Salary>

<Employee>

<Name>Fred</Name>

<EmpType>Manager</EmpType>

<Salary>52000</Salary>

<Employee>

<Name>John</Name>

<EmpType>Supervisor</EmpType>
