KendoUI + MVC 4 + Razor

[Igor Macedo]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create my first demo with KendoUI and I got an JS error.

I've tried on IE (doesn't works) and Chrome (works with warnings). What I'm doing wrong?

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'kendoNumericTextBox'

And my code is:

                <p><label for="currency">Price:</label><br>                    <input class="k-input" id="currency" max="100" min="0" name="currency" type="number" value="30" /><script><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">  </span>jQuery(function(){jQuery("#currency").kendoNumericTextBox({format:"c"});});<br></script><br>                </p>

There is my headers:

<!-- KendoUi -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Content/kendo.common.min.css">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Content/kendo.default.min.css">

<script src="/Scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="/Scripts/kendo.web.min.js"></script>

<script src="/Scripts/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"></script>

And all files was loaded successfully.

Thanks in advance

Hello Igor,

The error is thrown because jQuery is included after the Kendo scripts and so when the initialization script is executed the method cannot be found e.g.

    </footer>
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>

Removing it should resolve the problem.

Hi Daniel,

Works like a charm.

Thanks for your help.

I came across this same problem when using the instructons supplied by Telerik at http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/introduction

I suspect, like Igor, I was using  an ASP.MVC project template in VS2010 and the  deault _Layout.cshtml file includes this offending line of code.

Is it worth you guys putting this instruction in the "Getting Started" notes with Kendo UI as it has taken me a good few hours to find the solution to this and I bet a lot of other developers are also using Visual Studio as their starting point?
