hi,

I am trying to use a combo box (also tried it in autocomple and it didn't work).
I took the code from your sample and it works fine in my test page (so links and scripts are ok), but when i try to change the address of the remote OData feed to my other project it does not show anything.
If i just copy the address to IE9 - the service look fine and i got data.
Any idea what i have done wrong? any tests i can do?

Thanks

Eli

I have some additional information for you.
I have one of your examples working and the only difference is the odata service url.
Here is the not working example:

IMPORTANT: I notice when this non-working one executes, the request is bad and it is using "http://wcf-clsearch.ryanhelms.com/ServerDataService.svc/Servers?$format=json&$inlinecount=allpages&$callback=callback" ,,,, something seems weird there.

Request:

$("#Server").kendoComboBox({

dataTextField: "CompanyName",

dataValueField: "SupplierID",

dataSource: {

type: "odata",

serverFiltering: true,

transport: {

read: "http://wcf-clsearch.ryanhelms.com/ServerDataService.svc/Servers"

}

},

change: function () { }

}).data("kendoComboBox");

OData Service Response:

For spaces sake, I cut all of the results from above except the first one, as there were a few hundred in the resultset.

Now, this next version works and populates the combobox.

Request:

$("#Server").kendoComboBox({

dataTextField: "CompanyName",

dataValueField: "SupplierID",

dataSource: {

type: "odata",

serverFiltering: true,

transport: {

read: "http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Suppliers"

}

},

change: function () {}

}).data("kendoComboBox");

Please explain the difference, since everything is exactly the same, except the fields in the results.
