KendoDropDownList submits Option Label text as its value

[TBYDev]

<select name="select1" id="select1">

   <option value="">-- select --</option>

   <option value="1">One</option>

   <option value="2">Two</option>

</select>

When I do $("#select1").kendoDropDownList() the submitted value becomes "-- select --" instead of ""

The value of the option label is empty string, the submitted value should be empty string.

Hi Joshua,

 
This is a known issue, which is already addressed. The fix is included in the latest internal build. Give it a try and let me know if everything is ok.

Kind regards,
