reference grid generated by template AND/OR programmatically enable/disable column editing

[Shannon]

I have a grid that is generated by a template.  How do I reference that grid from my javascript? I am trying to do this to enable editing of a column value on Create but not on Edit.  If there is an easier/better way to do that, I would appreciate your help. Either way, I'd still like to know how to reference the other grid.

My template name and grid name are setup as follows:

<script id="npisTemplate" type="text/kendo-tmpl">

<%: Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()

.Name("Abc_#=PersonId#")

//.............

</script>

And I have tried various ways of referencing it but all generate an error:

<script>

      $("#Npi_#=FacilityAbbreviation#").kendoGrid()...  // error

      $("Npi_#=FacilityAbbreviation#").kendoGrid()...  // error

</script>

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Shannon,

I assume that you create hierarchy of Grids. If this is the case please notice that it is not one Grid - there are multiple Grids.
And with the client expression #= # each of the Grids receives unique name. e.g.

$("#Npi_1").data('kendoGrid')...
$("#Npi_2").data('kendoGrid')...  // 1,2 is on the place of the FacilityAbbreviation or whatever values this property may have

I hope this makes clearer what is actually the name of the generated child Grids.
