I have a Kendo UI autocomplete using the MVC helper:
#(Html.Kendo().AutoCompleteFor(m => m)
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Read(read => read.Action("CustomerNames_Read", "Wells")))
.DataTextField("Name")
.MinLength(3))
The MinLength works fine, only retrieving values when 3 letters are entered.
The problem is if you clear the box it retrieves all values (which in this instance is 1000+). How can I stop this?
The same behavior can be seen in the demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/autocomplete/index
Enter a letter, such as 'b', then delete it - all values are retrieved.
I've raised a support ticket at Telerik. The answer was that this is apparently by design because customers wanted it that way.
This can be prevented by implementing some JavaScript client side (see demo)
Since I'm not so happy whit the JavaScript approach I've raised a feature request, that extends the MinLenght like this
.MinLength(int length, bool triggerOnEmptyText = true)
not sure if it's going to be implemented yet, will update as soon as I get an answer.
UPDATE:
Got feedback from Telerik. They won't implement it unless it geht a high vot in the User Voice.
So if you like the Feature pleae vote here!

I'm trying to find a way to remove the time headers from the kendo scheduler. I've come across a few ways to do it via css, but they tend to leave the scheduler looking a bit "off".
I found some answers in the kendo docs detailing how to do it out of the box with a javascript implementation, but I'm looking for MVC which I can't seem to find any mention of. I've tried and tried to figure out how to do this, but I can't seem to find the appropriate attributes to set.
The kendo MVC wrappers are effectively ASPX/Razor helper functions that generate a javascript implementation. So assuming the javascript solution in the link you provide contains the solution you need, it should be possible to replicate it using the MVC syntax.
Looking at telerik's solution, they manipulate the DOM with javascript in the dataBinding event for Ungrouped and in dataBound for Grouped. You can specify handlers for these events when declaring the scheduler with MVC syntax:
.Events(e => {
e.DataBound("scheduler_dataBound");
e.DataBinding("scheduler_dataBinding");
})
...and then include the implementation of these functions on the page separately (code lifted from the telerik solution):
<script>
function scheduler_dataBound(e) {
var tables = $(".k-scheduler-times .k-scheduler-table");
//Required: remove only last table in dataBound when grouped
tables = tables.last();
var rows = tables.find("tr");
rows.each(function() {
$(this).children("th:last").hide();
}
function scheduler_dataBinding(e) {
var view = this.view();
view.times.hide();
view.timesHeader.hide();
}
</script>
//for hiding time header
$('#schedulerID').find('.k-scheduler-header-wrap').closest('tr').hide()
//for hiding date header
$(".k-scheduler-layout tr:first .k-scheduler-table").find("tr:eq(0)").hide()
I have textarea which is required field. I've found post suggesting that Dojo doesn't have validation for Textarea, but in Dojo 1.9, there's an argument 'required'.
I've done the following:
new Textarea({required:true, value:""}, query('[name=description]')[0])
but the effect isn't what I've expected. The texarea has red border always, even if the field wasn't focused (as opposite to, for example, ValidationTextBox). But when I call:
form.validate()
the validation is passed even if the texarea is empty.
Is it possible to get Textare behave the same as in ValidationTextBox, or as for now, the validation for that component is not yet ready and I'd have to write custom version (as in linked post) or wait for next Dojo?
I've done it using mixin of SimpleTextArea and ValidationTextArea:
define(["dojo/_base/declare", "dojo/_base/lang", "dijit/form/SimpleTextarea", "dijit/form/ValidationTextBox"],
function(declare, lang, SimpleTextarea, ValidationTextBox) {
return declare('dijit.form.ValidationTextArea', [SimpleTextarea, ValidationTextBox], {
constructor: function(params){
this.constraints = {};
this.baseClass += ' dijitValidationTextArea';
},
templateString: "<textarea ${!nameAttrSetting} data-dojo-attach-point='focusNode,containerNode,textbox' autocomplete='off'></textarea>"
})
})

The power of Dojo lies in extending it with ease. If you really need the required functionality, then implement it. If you design it well, there should be no problem if it actually gets implemented in a new release of Dojo.
If you really want to know if such a feature exists or is in development I suggest looking at http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org. Besides, you can always contribute to the code, that's what open source is meant for.
I would like to add to the answer of Donaudampfschifffreizeitfahrt
instead of "this.baseClass += ' dijitValidationTextArea';"
I would do
this.baseClass = this.baseClass.replace('dijitTextBox', 'dijitValidationTextArea');
because
• we do not need the TextBox class if we have got a textarea mixin
• ! the "rows" parameter is mixed in but not fired/styled if the TextBox class is present ...
When I add a new row kendo ui grid it does not move to next page even I set page number dynamically.
But when there is a javaScrip alert it's working fine.
Has any one faced this issue before. Please suggest me a solution.
Thank you.
The problem is that when you add a new row there are a series of actions that happen in parallel and they are not immediate. If you try to move to the end but the row still is being created, if fails.
When you add an alert, you delay the fact of moving and creation now have time.
If you really need to do it, you can add a timeout (delay) it is not nice/clean but should work.
Do something like:
setTimeout(function() {
grid.page(3);
}, 500);
for introducing half second (500 ms) delay, should be enough.
We had sort of similar issue in IE - onchange fired twice with alert in the event handler. According to what you saying, it sounds like when the alert is NOT in you are getting correct behaviour. Review your code without having the alert in or post a fiddle. Below is an answer from Kendo support in regards to alerts while debugging. Do not use alerts with kendo to stay safe.
Basically this behavior is caused by using "alert" method for debugging purposes - please note that this is not recommended because it can lead to unexpected behavior when interacting with focusing elements. After replacing the "alert" method and with "debbuger" command or "console.log()" function the change event is working as expected - please check this screencast(http://screencast.com/t/7qIAdK6hZ5kD).
Hope it helps.
I'm using jQuery unobtrusive validation version 2.0 for MVC3. I also have the latest jquery.validate (v 1.9). I have a popup form with this code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#createForm').submit(function () {
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($('#createForm'));
(more)
(The third line is necessary so that the form fields added by javascript will be validated.)
The validation works fine except that a value such as $1,000.00 entered into an input tag that is bound to a decimal property in the viewmodel is invalid, while 1,000.00 is valid. Clearly the "$" is casting the value as a string in the eyes of the validator.
I have researched this for many hours and I have only found one other similar question posted (also on SO and it was unanswered). I can't believe that this has been encountered by every MVC3 developer who handles currency values in a modal dialog, otherwise we would surely have some resolution by now, right?
I have resolved the issue on the server side by creating a DecimalBinder. Now I need a solution for the client-side validation. I have been looking hard at the API for jquery.validate.unobtrusive but I can't seem to find a hook. I do not want to modify any standard javascript library.
How about a custom validation method which first looks to strip off any $ characters prior to validating?
var currentVal = (control's actual value);
currentVal = currentVal.replace('$','');
Then continue with validation. The obvious downside is the need for custom validators.
I'm trying to add a URL parameter within a Spring MVC application. It's a basic search page that shows results.
In the search page, there is a form that is set to POST. There are many hidden fields and other fields I don't want in the URL. So, I don't want to do a GET.
I do want the search query in the URL. So after clicking the search button, the resulting search results page needs to have a URL like /search?query=hello
To get it to work, I'm creating a RequestMapping method in the Spring MVC Controller and doing a redirect: tacking on the query parameter. However, I'm not sure using a redirect is the best answer, seems there could be performance concerns redirecting as well.
I looked around and noticed folks using javascript and the location object, but setting the location object obviously relaunches the URL you set it to. I also looked at the HTTPServletResponse & HTTPServletRequest objects, but couldn't find much.
Any thoughts on how I can force the search parameter to be added to the URL?
Your form will have an 'action' specified telling it where to POST to. I'd have thought you could attach an onclick event to your submit button (or an onsubmit event to your form) that updates the action url by appending "?query=" to it.
document.<form name>.action += "?query=...";
Then you just have to worry about someone posting your form without JavaScript enabled - in this case you could fall back to your redirect.
I don't know how the server technology so I can't say if it will be happy giving you both GET and POST parameters, if not you'll have to manually strip the GETs out of the URL.
But anyway, this seems like a rather odd situation to be in - is it really that big a deal to show the parameters in the URL? Anything that gets posted by an HTML form can still be inspected with the right tools, it's just ever so slightly more difficult.
I wanted to provide a more complete answer to my question with code. The previous user helped me down this path, so I'll keep it as the accepted answer. However, there is one item to note:
If you add on to the action, and you have an input text box with the same name, the page posts a duplicate value like: query=hello,hello.
So, I needed to remove the name on the input box, and use the following javascript. Note, I am using the prototype.js framework:
Event.observe(window, 'load', function(event) {
Event.observe('searchForm', 'submit', function(event) {
$('searchForm').action += "?query="+$('searchBox').value;
});
