list values are not displaying in kendoComboBox

[shankar parshimoni]

i want to bind list of values to kendoCombobox from dataBase through webservices.here is the code
  

<select id = "CbxArea" style="width:200px">
</select>

$(document).ready(function () 
$("#CbxArea").kendoComboBox();       
var cmbArea = $("#CbxArea");        
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "FlashReportWebService.asmx/GetAreaNames",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
for (i = 0; i < data.d.length; i++) {
cmbArea.append($("<option></option>").val(data.d[i].AreaName).html(data.d[i].AreaName));
}
}
});


list of values are coming successfully, but the problem is only 1st value is showing in combobox,remaining values are not displaying(i have 16 values in list)
if i write $("#CbxArea"); instead of $("#CbxArea").kendoComboBox(); total 16 values are displaying in comboBox.is there any problem in kendocombobox for binding values from .asmx page....i must display values in kendoComboBox only...please help..
thanks,

Hello,

 Adding options to the element from which the combobox is created won't work. You need to initialize the combobox after the server response is received:

<select id = "CbxArea" style="width:200px">
</select>

$(document).ready(function () 
        var cmbArea = $("#CbxArea");        
       
        $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
              url: "FlashReportWebService.asmx/GetAreaNames",
              dataType: "json",
              success: function (data) {
                  for (i = 0; i < data.d.length; i++) {
                       cmbArea.append($("<option></option>").val(data.d[i].AreaName).html(data.d[i].AreaName));
                  }
            // create combobox after data is received
           $("#CbxArea").kendoComboBox();       
         }
});
