I am working with the samples and they include a stylesheet that isn't there, is it missing or not necessary:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Basic usage</title>
<script src="../../../js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../../js/kendo.mobile.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../content/shared/js/console.js"></script>
<link href="../../../styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="../../../styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>

categoryAxis Label and GridLine Spacing

I have a time-based line chart that varies in the number of values displayed. If the user chooses a large date range there will be a large number of values returned from the web service. As a result, the grid lines and categoryAxis labels are too close or overlapping. Is there a way to space the grid lines and labels based on the number of values?

Nested grids with common data source

I am implementing a solution that uses nested grids to drill-down on an organization hierarchy. The entire organization is obtained from a single data source. I have found that the dataSource binding does not initialize when showing the detailTemplate.

I created the following minimal example to demonstrate the issue.

<div id="grid"></div>

<script>

$(document).ready(function () {

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

type: "odata",

transport: {

read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/service/Northwind.svc/Employees"

}

});

var element = $("#grid").kendoGrid({

dataSource: dataSource,

columns: ["FirstName", "LastName"],

height: 450,

detailInit: detailInit,

dataBound: function () {

this.expandRow(this.tbody.find("tr.k-master-row").first());

}

});

function detailInit(e) {

$("<div/>").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid({

dataSource: dataSource,

/*dataSource: {

type: "odata",

transport: {

read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/service/Northwind.svc/Employees"

}

},*/

columns: ["FirstName", "LastName"],

scrollable: false

});

}

</script>

This results in an error: dataSource is not defined.

If you comment out the dataSource property within detailInit and uncomment the one immediately afterwards, then it works.

In case it is relevant, this markup is being loaded via AJAX and inserted into the DOM via jQuery.

My business need is to bind the main grid and the sub-grids to the same data source. It's not shown in the basic example, but this will be iterative to dozens of levels, so I really need to be able to use a single data source.

Thanks,
Gary

Changing Grid Data

Hi all,
I'm trying out Kendo as an alternative to jQuery-UI and so far it is working nicely.
One thing I couldnt really figure out (I'm probably missing something....) - I created a grid from an array.
Now, I want to redraw the grid using the same element but with a different data set.
With jQuery-UI I simply could destroy the grid and the recreate it. How do I do it in Kendo?

Thanks
Rafi

Race condition when selecting initial value

How do you set an initial value in a dropdownlist that is bound to remote data?

Currently I have to use setTimeout to make sure data is loaded before I can call dropdown.value('initalvalue').

I have been searching for an event or something but I cannot find it.

Updating: hidden attributes?

Hi there,

I'm having a problem setting an edited row to be called for updating back to the server. The default edit along with save using the toolbar works perfectly. However, i wish to make use of a form. Somewhere somehow I have to either set an attribute or throw the item into a queue so that Kendo knows it needs to perform an update query.

<code>
$("#form-edit").live("submit",function(e) {
// Declaring grid
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

// Getting values of selected item
var row = grid.dataItem(grid.select(grid.tbody.find()))

// Declaring window
var window = $("#window-edit").data("kendoWindow");

// Setting variables for editable row
row.Name = $("#form-edit-name").val();
row.GeoLocation = $("#form-edit-location").val();
row.Active = $("#form-edit-activity").val();
row.ContactNo = $("#form-edit-number").val();

// Grid refreshing and database sync
// grid.refresh();
grid.saveChanges();

// Closing form window
window.close();
});
</code>

The default kendo way (using inline as well as the toolbar save) works 100% thus proving that my datasource has been successfully set up.

Regards,

Grid

Retrieve Currently Selected OBJECT (Not Text)

I know that, using the .value(); method I can retrieve the TEXT of the currently selected item ...but what if we want to get the entire object, with all of its existential data intact?

Currently, the only method I have found is the following ...

var combobox = $("#input").data("kendoComboBox");
console.log(combobox.dataSource.view()[combobox._current.index()]);

This seems hardly intuitive and excessively redundant. The code is relatively simple, can't we just get a simple .selected() or a .current() method attached to it that pulls this?
