kendo ui grid with two tables - header and data - kendo-ui

I was trying to use the Kendo Grid UI control.
I am using the binding from Javascript with few template columns.
When the HTML is generated it gets two tables, one for header and one for body. This becomes hard for accessibility, can someone please guide me how do I set to generate only one table with header and data in it.

This issue is caused by setting grid to be scrollable. Scrollable property in Kendo UI for jQuery is true by default so you need to explicitly set it false.
If you are using Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC then you have to remove GridBuilder's .Scrollable() method call.

Kendo MVC: editable grid with local data

I want to create editable Kendo MVC grid bound to local data(some IEnumerable<>).
I found this and this. But first is only for js and second is not ediatable.
Is it possible?
I have tried all modes of Editable. But Editable() requires to specify related actions and it's impossible to prevent its execution.
As far as I know, editing is not supported with server side binding. In the past, I have used a Template column with links to edit the items. An example:
cols.Template(#<text>Edit</text>)

How to bind Dynamic CheckboxList template in KendoUI

I wanted to bind a checkboxlist using KendoUI when a modal pop is opened.
On modal popup load I wanted to get data from a webapi which will have json response and bind it to checkbox kendo Ui template.
I referred kendoUI forums all samples are using static data. Can someone please guide me to the right direction where I can consume dynamic data.
Thank you!
There's a lot of ways to approach this.
I think the easiest way would be to use a TreeView with checkboxes configured that only returns a single level of nodes, then just show it in a Window or Dialog as you would show any other view. This way you get decent, default item formatting of the TreeView with having to use a template, but you don't get paging if your datasource is large.
You can also use a ListView with a template that formats the data with a checkbox. This requires a template but you get paging capability. Once again, you just display the ListView in a Window or Dialog as normal.
Here's a simple demo of a ListView implementation: http://dojo.telerik.com/#Stephen/iwOhIV
It is a combination of Kendo demos: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/dialog/treeview-integration with the TreeView replaced with the ListView from this demo(http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/listview/remote-data-binding) and then the styling tweak with a template that uses checkboxes.
The rest of it is up to you(persisting/loading checked state, etc).

In Kendo Ui how to reflect the changes occurred in grid view on to the chart ?

I have a grid view, when i change some nodes or label or parameter it should be reflected in chart. How to make this possible in Kendo UI using mvvm ?
This should be done automatically if you are using a Shared dataSource like shown here.

Kendo UI - Grid questions

I am evaluating Kendo UI for use of it in our project. I would be using the Kendo UI JS (not the ASP.Net MVC one).
I stumbled upon a couple of things Kendo grid does not support. I just want clarification on some of the functionalities (some of the questions may sound very basic. Sorry I am just evaluating on the basis of demos provided and trying to fit in our requirement). I do not require any code but just require your help in evaluating kendo UI
Kendo Grid does not support Grouping of Headers ?
|-----------Header Master------------------|
|--Sub Header-------|-----Sub Header----|
Kendo Grid does not support Frozen Columns ?
Does Kendo Grid support multiple summary columns with custom aggregate(that would be pulled from data source and hence not calculated on client side) ? How can we achieve this ? By Customer Footer template ?
I could not find any example on the website, which shows how kendo ui grid deals with large data. say 10,000 rows ?
Answers to the questions at the current moment (28/10/2013):
Kendo Grid does not support grouped Headers ( you can search the
forums for some feasible work-arounds)
Kendo Grid does not
supported frozen-columns, however it should be implemented for the
future releases.
What is supported as footer templates is
demonstrated here.
What do you mean by larget data? If you
enable server paging only the records for a specific page will be
send to the client, so you can use it with as many records as you
want. Also check virtualization (please notice it still works
the same as a paging mechanism, so you can use it again the same way
as in a regular paging scenario)

Telerik MVC Grid sever binding with ajax editing

I have an application that is making extensive use of telerik controls and am looking for an example/demo of Telerik MVC grid that uses server binding to display the initial grid and then allow inline editing using ajax. I have a selection that is returning a lot of data and erroring out at the maxJsonLength. The code to configure the grid would be helpful and I should be able to fiigure out the rest. I think I saw an example somewhere of an ajax bound grid that used server binding for the initial load but I can't find it.
Having a server-side bound grid with ajax editing is possible. However you first need to solve the maxJsonLength problem. The grid needs to serialize the first page of data (which is initially displayed server-side) as JSON so it can be then edited on the client-side. It seems that you are serializing too much data which hits the maxJsonLength limit. I can think of two ways to deal with this:
Use a ViewModel and serialize only the properties which are bound to the grid. This will reduce the total JSON size.
Increase the maxJsonLength. This however is not easy as setting it from web.config does not work in ASP.NET MVC. You need to create a custom JsonResult object with its own JsonSerializer. This code library project shows how.
You have mentioned Telerik in your title but not in main question, so I assume that you are okay with other grid controls.
In that case you can try Jq grid, it's very flexible and easy to use. I have been using it for some time now and find it very useful.
For your particular case see below link
