I have a window with a list box and on the window close I'm trying to move the data from that list into a list in the parent window.

Here is the html snippet for the window content 
<div id="selectcontactwindow" class="k-content">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#parent").val("Select an Agency Contact");
            $("#contactselect").kendoComboBox([
                    { text: "Contact 1", value: 1 },
                    { text: "Contact 2", value: 2}]);
 
            $("#add").click(function () {
                var obj = $("#contactselect option:selected");
                if ($("#selectedcontacts option[value="+obj.val()+"]").length == 0) {
                    $("#selectedcontacts")
                        .append($("<option></option>")
                                .prop("value", obj.val())
                                .text(obj.text()));
                }
            });
            $("#remove").click(function () {
                $("#selectedcontacts option:selected").remove();
            });
        });
    </script>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <label for="parent" class="k-label">Parent</label>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input id="parent" disabled="disabled" type="text" class="k-textbox"/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <label for="contactselect" class="k-label">Select a Contact</label>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <select id="contactselect" class="k-combobox" placeholder="Please select a contact"  >
                
                    </select>
                </td>   
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <label for="selectedcontacts" class="k-label">Selected Contacts</label>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <select id="selectedcontacts" multiple="multiple" class="k-list-container" style="width: 100%">
                        <option value="11">Contact 11</option>
                        <option value="12">Contact 12</option>
                    </select>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td></td>
                <td>
                    <button id="add" class="k-button">Add</button>
                    <button id="remove" class="k-button">Remove</button>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>

Here is the code for the parent window.
    
 


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">



<head>


     <title></title>


    <link href="../Styles/kendo.common.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>


    <link href="../Styles/kendo.metro.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>


    <script src="../Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


    <script src="../Scripts/kendo.all.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


</head>


<body>


    <div>


        <script type="text/javascript">


            $(document).ready(function () {


                var window = $("#window");


                $("#openwindow").click(function () {


                    window.data("kendoWindow").open().center();


                });


                if (!window.data("kendoWindow")) {


                    window.kendoWindow({


                        content: "selectcontact.htm",


                        title: "Select a Contact",


                        actions: ["Refresh", "Close"],


                        visible: false,


                        modal: true,


                        close: onClose


                    });


                }


                function onClose(e) {


                    $("#selectedcontacts option").each(function() {


                        $("#returnedcontacts")


                            .append("<option></option>")


                            .prop("value", $(this).val())


                            .text($(this).text());


                    });}


            });


        </script>


        <p id="window"></p>


        <button id="openwindow" class="k-button">Open Window</button>


        <br/>


        <select id="returnedcontacts" multiple="multiple" ></select>


    </div>


</body>


</html>

Any idea why the code in my onClose event isn't doing anything?

Hello Satish,

The reason for the problem is that the append method returns the parent element ( #returnedcontacts in your case), not the appended element ( <option> ). I suggest to change the onClose function in the following way:
function onClose(e) {
    var options = $("#selectedcontacts option"); // stores all the options
    $("#returnedcontacts").append(options); // appends the options to the container
}

For convenience I am attaching the modified project.

I am trying to pass data back from a Kendo window to the parent page but its not working. Here is my code. Any help would be appreciated

Any help resolving this would be appreciated. Everything works except the grid on the parent page is not getting populated. Javascript is crashing when it tries to populate the parent pages grid.

<h5 class="bold"><a name="associates"></a>Known Associates</h5>
 
        <div id="GridMessage_Associate" style="display: none;"></div>
 
        @(Html.Kendo().Grid<PeopleSearchResultDO>()

                columns.Bound(p => p.PersonId).ClientTemplate("#= PersonId #" + "<input type='hidden' name='PersonAssociates[#= indexAssociate(data) #].PersonId' value='#= PersonId #' />");
 
                columns.Bound(p => p.FirstName).ClientTemplate("#= FirstName #" + "<input type='hidden' name='PersonAssociates[#= indexAssociate(data) #].FirstName' value='#= FirstName #' />");

Hi John,

The situation seems to be more complex than the one discussed here. Also it seems to be more related to using Kendo Grid and DataSource instead of Kendo Window. Plus, it is not clear what exactly is the error that you are getting. 

I suggest you to open a new support ticket with more details on the case and, if possible, provide a locally runnable example that demonstrates the issue so that we examine it better. 

Regards,
Ianko
