Changing the default appendTo values

Greetings

Currently, all dynamically added elements are being added to the document body, unless we specify an appendTo option.
When we look at the Angular library, we can specify a default container element there via an injection token.
It'd be great (and not that much work) to have that for jQuery (and thus MVC) as well, since adding/removing elements to/from the body causes high reflow times.
In some components, like when we use a filterrow inside a Grid, we can't specify an appendTo option for those dropdownlists, so having a global setting would help there as well.  

I currently have to manually edit the kendo.all.min.js file every release to manually insert a fix for this, since adding things to the body causes terrible lag for us.

Kind regards

Hello Korstiaan,

As far as I understand the request you need to have an appendTo configuration option that could be set for all the initialized Kendo components. Is this correct? If this is the case please note that the configuration options are supported on a per-instance basis. Each widget instance has its own configuration and multiple instances do not share global options.

I will mark the request a s'Declined'. If this is not the case and I misunderstood the requirement please provide a little bit more information, so I could understand the scenario better.

Regards,
