Saving existing record or inserting new one

[dccxz]

Hello,
I have a ListVIew binded to a DataSource which gets loaded as "json" datatype from a control ajax-wise.
The same control also expects POST request back to save/insert update data to DB.

I have kendoListVIew defined with some delegates, including:
var commentsList = $("#commentsList").kendoListView({
                    dataSource: commSrc,
                    editable: true,
                    template: kendo.template($("#ctemp").html()),
                    editTemplate: kendo.template($("#cedittemp").html())
                }).delegate(".ledit-btn", "click", function(e) { commentsList.edit($(this).closest(".comment-view")); }).
                    delegate(".lsave-btn", "click", function(e) { commentsList.save(); }).
                    delegate(".lcancel-btn", "click", function(e) { commentsList.cancel(); }).data("kendoListView");

There is no e.preventDefault() - because they are DIVs, not hyperlinks.

I was under an impression that calling .save() on listView will cause DataSource to sync - which means it would call update routine defined under transport. But it never does anything actually.
I don't mind calling my own function and do my own ajax postback via delegate(".lsave-btn"), but then how do I pass data from form fields for edited item (or new item)?

Or am I missing something? PLease help :)
Thanks

Hello Ivan,

This is indeed what happens when you call save function. It destroys current editable item and call DataSource.sync, which will process the data back to server etc.

You can see it happen on the demo: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/listview/editing.html

thanks for reply Nickolay.
I have created a support ticket for this as it gets more involved - my ListVIew and its shared datasource is actually loaded via ajax from Kendo Tabs, so I'm assuming this is where the problem lays.
