loosing my mind

[Christian]

Hello ..
need some help before my brain explodes..
cant seem to understand what im doing wrong

have a quite simple autocomplete.

$(document).ready(function () {

 

var data =new kendo.data.DataSource({

        serverFiltering: true,

        transport: {

            read: "data/output.txt" 

        }

    });

  $("#input").kendoAutoComplete({

            dataSource: data

      });

        });

But no matter how hard i try i dont get the result i want, just the list with one letter vertical..?
I dont know how am the external file supposed to look? as now it just is:
"value1",
"value2",
"value3"

Hi Christian!

Kendo UI needs JSON or XML data, so give your file the extension .json (output.json) and then format your data as a valid array...

["value1",

"value2",

"value3"]
