    Hi all,
    Problem reproduced at http://jsfiddle.net/nA95j/7/

    It seems that specifying decimals="0" option in the HTML initialization of numeric text box does not work. The same option when given as a constructor option does work.

    It is mentioned in the Release Notes for Kendo UI version 2012.1.322 that this is fixed (http://www.kendoui.com/web/whats-new/release-notes/q1-2012-version-2012-1-322.aspx) but I see it is happening in case of HTML based initialization for a numeric text box.

    I am using MVVM binding so I cannot declare the numeric text box and its arguments separately. Any suggestions or workarounds?

    Thanks.

    change the code to:

    $("#currency").kendoNumericTextBox({
        decimals: 0,
        format: '#'
    }); 

    the format string will set the control's display output...configuring the incrementer is an art form, mixing the correct settings for decimals, format, and step value :(

    Thanks for the reply, Ryan, but like I said, I am initializing the numeric text box from HTML (bound to an MVVM), and I cannot use the javascript declaration style to specify the decimals and format parameters.

    Hello Siddhartha,

    Please review the updated fiddle to see the correct way to configure the textbox.

    Thanks Dimo! This works fine. Appreciate the time you guys give to answering the queries.

    Did I miss something or is the documentation in need for an update on this issue?

    Thanks,
    Siddhartha

    Hello Siddhartha,

    Declarative widget initialization is shown at

    http://demos.kendoui.com/web/mvvm/widgets.html

    MVVM bindings work with data attributes, which start with data-, as shown at

    http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/framework/mvvm/bindings/attr.aspx

    This is because custom attributes that do not start with data- are not valid HTML markup. For example, decimals HTML attribute does not exist.

    Thanks, guessed about the HTML compliance of min max etc. after a little while. 

    About the error, I was actually referring to the line first line of example on http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/ui-widgets/numerictextbox/configuration.aspx

    It talks about using "decimals" instead of "data-decimals" for HTML:  
    // specify in the HTML
    <input id="numeric" value="10" type="number" min="0" max="1" step=".1" decimals="1"/>
    <br />

    This must be a copy-paste error, we'll fix that, sorry about the confusion.

    The declarative configuration shown in http://jsfiddle.net/dimodi/nA95j/10/  (data-decimals="0")  does not work to suppress decimals for stationary display of a number.  Rather it seems to affect the display when increasing or decreasing values.   Curiously, data-format = "d" does suppress decimals in the display, as well as in the increase and decrease.

    Hello Bill,

    Decimals is related to the input textbox only. Format should be used to control the formatted value. Please refer to the updated example:

    @Dimo, didnt know if you noticed, but when I look at the JSFiddle it shows 2 decmials during display.  If I click to edit, it looses the decimals, but they are always there unless I am editing.

    Hello Alton,

    - decimals is applicable when the widget is focused
    - format is applicable when the widget is not focused
