manually change navbar title

[Ahmad]

Hi

I'm calling a function everytime user switch to a new view (using "data-show") part of the function is to change the title based on user input

my problem is that even when I change the title using jquery with the title span id, I can see Kendo will reset it back to data-title


Note: I'm changing the title using :
$('#view-title').html(q);
$('#view-search').attr('data-title',q);

Hi Ahmad,

I have replied to your support ticket on the same subject, however I am pasting my reply here as well: 

I am not sure if I understand your scenario correctly. Could you please provide more detailed information and preferably a sample runnable project that replicates the problem? Thus way I would be able to investigate your case in details and do my best to provide you with an accurate solution. Thank you in advance.

If you are trying to change the header of a mobile view  (data-role="header"):

Using jquery to change any html content within the header will not work.


I was able to do it by referencing the header from the view object itself:

$(view.header[0]).find("selector").html("CUSTOM TEXT HERE");

where

view = the mobile view you are trying to change

In addition to the method I outlined above, if you remove the HTML element that has the content you want to change then set it back using jquery HTML it works as well.
