Hello Marcus,
KendoUI depends on jQuery (v.1.7.1) and cannot be used without it. If you omit to include jQuery before Kendo scripts, you will receive a JavaScript error
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined and most probably the page in question will be blank.
You can read more about KendoUI dependencies in the
corresponding documentation.
Kind regards,
Alexander Valchev
