"Skip" a cell, keeping the data in queue to render in next cell?

[Kenneth Jamieson]

So here is my problem, I have a page design to work on that is, in theory a 3 x 3 grid like this...

    X X X
    X X X 
    X X X

Where each X is a thumbnail. So far, no problem! Except the grid REALLY looks like this....

    * X X
    X * * 
    X * X

Where the * is a empty space ( a blank placeholder graphic ). The pattern will never change. The question is how can I inject some smarts into the grid templating (native or combined with JQuery templating) that will "skip" an iteration but not gobble up the data intended for that space?

Hi Kenneth,

Kendo templates allows use of JavaScript code inside the template definition. Generally speaking, you are not able to skip an iteration, however with if conditions you could change the appearance of the current field according to a variable. In that way you will modify the presentation of the data without loosing any records.

I hope this information helps.

All the best,
