    Have an anchor:
    <a id="popanchor" data-rel="popover" href="#popover-task" data-role="button" >Open PopOver</a>

    and a popover:
    <div data-role="popover" id="popover-task" >
        <div data-role="view">
            Hi There
        </div>
    </div>

    Other kendo elements seem to be working fine. Get error when clicking on the button "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'openFor' of undefined".

    Looking at source the error occurs here:
    kendo.widgetInstance($(href), ui).openFor(link);

    In the widgetInstance function...
    kendo.widgetInstance = function(element, suite) {
        var widget = suite.roles[element.data(kendo.ns + "role")];
     
        if (widget) {
            return element.data("kendo" + widget.fn.options.prefix + widget.fn.options.name);
        }
    };

    it fails to find the "kendoMobilePopOver" data. Which leads me to believe its not initializing properly. I tried setting up in in JavaScript instead and same result.

    Thoughts? Thanks,

    Dennis

    Hello Dennis,

    Can you post bigger code snippet - its hard to deduce what is wrong from this one? Generally the PopOver widget is meant to be a child of a View and can be referenced only within the said View. Maybe this is the issue you're facing?

    That's exactly the issue. Doh! And not only does it need to be child of the view, in the case of the SplitView I needed to put it child to the view inside the pane... Thanks Kamen.
