I clicked Get Kendo UI button; it took 30 seconds to load a popup that asks for user/password and kept on saying "reading from ajax.microsoft.com" not sure why you're hitting that for....

well, then I chose the Register tab, it does nothing. I am using Latest Google Chrome.

If your own UI is not working properly, how can you expect people to count on you for their UIs ?

I would love to see the option for donut chart on pia charts. A nice example: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-donut 

Thanks!

It would be convenient if you could specify the output format using a data attribute such as the following rather than having to write a new viewmodel function:
 
<span data-format="{0:C}" data-bind="text: amount"></span>

Currently you have to bind the element to a new viewmodel function which doesn't lend itself to the observable concept with remote data sources.

Please consider adding a sample Line-Of-Business (LOB) application to your demo page. 
This more complex LOB app demo should show KendoUI widgets working together. 
Here are a couple ideas: 
- TabStrip contents containing Grids, Graphs, complex entry form, or another nested TabStrip. 
- Window having other nested KendoUI widgets in its content.
- Nested wigets should 'lazy' load or load on demand?
- MVVM events wiring between widgets?

We're new to KendoUI, and it would really help to see how a proper LOB app powered by KendoUI is built, especially with that cool MVVM.

Thanks.

I'd like to be able to react when user clicks or "mouse over" data points in the chart

Hello,

I very much appreciate the effort put into kendoUI, and the widgets look pretty good.  I just have one major issue with how the methods can be called upon as they have an enourmous impact on our code since object chaining and the great advantages jQuery offers with object chaining is simply being thrown away because of the way you force us to use the .data() method to get the kendoUI object.

Following the guidelines on http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring, we should be able to do the following:

$('div.grid').kendoGrid(); // Initilises the grid
$('div.grid').kendoGrid('refresh'); // calls the refresh method on the grid

this should always return the jquery object which enables object chaining, so we might do the following:

$('div.grid').kendoGrid('refresh').show();

Unfortunately, the above example using KendoUI would need to be translated into:

$('div.grid').data("kendoGrid").refresh();

because the .data() method obviously does not return a jQuery object, and the refresh() method doesn't either, we can no longer benefit from chaining, and need to reselect the object to execute the show() method:

$('div.grid').show();

This obviously does make things more complicated, and will cause for more code.

I sincerely believe this needs to be addressed.  A forum topic on this is available at http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/general-discussions/why-aren-t-widget-methods-just-added-through-object-extention.aspx#2040399

It would be great if we could easily build a coverflow experience that matches what you have in your siliverlight components or what Apple does with iTunes

I use a common form to bind data objects to. I also perform validation on this form. If I validate the form through a submit and it fails (validate() returns false), I close the window and then rebind with the same or a different object (from a grid or some datasource). When the window comes back up, the validator messages are still there from the last failed submit. I need a way to clear them. I could call validate on the rebind, but I want to clear them, not reevaluate them (as there could be some that come up...especially when adding a new item with no data in it).

The keyboard navigation does not work on grid. Please see the sample "Editing Custom Editor". In the previous version you can edit one cell, hit enter or tab key and then move to the next cell o using the arrow keys, move the next row. Thanks for creating this amazing tool.

can the panelbar /tabstrip provide unselect method .this method can unselect all select items

It would be great to have such controls as webparts/widgets to place in a dashboard where we could move them around the screen to reorder how data is presented with option to save/retrieve the layout from a persistent source.

In the dashboard the functionality would be to define a layout where we could add/remove, change position the widgets (like in dropthings or pageflakes). The widgets would contain controls like Kendo Grid or DataViz controls to display information.

That would be a killer feature.

Add the ability to reorder columns (and their data) within the Kendo UI grid. This would preferably be handled through drag and drop. 

View/edit source option to edit raw html inside the editor.

The beta text editor is looking good and has an option to insert images via url.
However for most end users they will need a simple image upload.

The kendoupload means you already have much of the required functionality, it just needs to upload the image and return the url.

Also options such as adding title, alt, resizing and alignment will be good.

We currently use ckeditor and until the advanced image options are matched will not be able to move this over to kendo.

Similar functionality to the jQuery UI sortable feature.

In the long term, SPA features are absolutely necessary, especially when it comes to HTML5 apps (also in regard to Windows 8 WinRT or upshot.js - a key part of the forthcoming Microsoft RIA stack). 

A good SPA addresses the following issues:

- real permalinks
- page titles
- a working back button that fully degrades 
- different data states like http://bit.ly/zpybmz
- client side caching
- asynchronous updates/communication
- ...what else? (please add if I missed something)

I was really looking forward to using Kendo UI Mobile, but the one control that was critical for my idea was a slider, which is missing from the Mobile package and, apparently, not even on the roadmap.

Lightbox is the most way to show pictures, so I want KendoUI include it and expand. It can be show images, gallery, flash, video, audio even dynamic HTML & external pages, and can be play, pause, previous, next, close and so on...
This is the plugin I used: http://shadowbox-js.com

Knockout.js is a de-facto standard.
It would be nice if KendoUI supported Knockout so developers could use just one paradigm of bindings/observables/templates/etc.
