there are ready to use methods fadeIn & fadeOut for animation In jQuery. Kendo UI Window already uses nifty close-effect, how about implementing this behavior for a grid-control. Expanding/Colapsing Detail-Gird in Hierarchy will go smoothly and comply with other controls' animation.
Hello,
The problem with creating a built-in solution is that there are corner cases that may not function correctly. For example if the grid in the detail template has remote binding the animation may end before the grid is populated thus resulting in an unfriendly UX behavior. That said such solutions should be integrated using custom logic.

Tried Michael Pitt's sample without success. Details opened and closed but without animation
I had the same issue and came up with a solution until Kendo UI implements such functions. The solution lies in performing a conditional override of the jQuery show() and hide() functions. jQuery(function($) { var _oldShow = $.fn.show; var _oldHide = $.fn.hide; $.fn.show = function(speed, oldCallback) { return $(this).each(function(index, item) { var obj = $(item); _oldShow.apply(obj, [speed, oldCallback]); if (obj.hasClass("k-detail-row")) { obj.find(".k-grid.k-widget").each(function () { var grid = $(this); grid.slideDown(300).fadeIn(500); }); } }); } $.fn.hide = function (speed, oldCallback) { return $(this).each(function () { var obj = $(this); if (obj.hasClass("k-detail-row")) { obj.find(".k-grid.k-widget").each(function () { $(this).slideUp(300, function () { _oldHide.apply(obj, [speed, oldCallback]); }); }); } else { _oldHide.apply(obj, [speed, oldCallback]); } }); } });
