Open details in row click - kendo grid - kendo-ui

Question

I am using Kendo UI web in an ASP.NET MVC4 project.
I am trying to create a master/details grids and a detailsTemplate for each. I have some question regarding this situation:
What's the difference between hierarchy and details?
Is it possible to populate the details grid in a separate div on a master row click instead of that little triangle?
This code was my starting point : http://jsfiddle.net/WKSkC/2/
var element = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "odata",
transport: {
read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/service/Northwind.svc/Employees"
},
pageSize: 6,
serverPaging: true,
serverSorting: true
},
height: 430,
sortable: true,
pageable: true,
detailInit: detailInit,
dataBound: function () {
this.expandRow(this.tbody.find("tr.k-master-row").first());
},
columns:
[
{field: "FirstName", title: "First Name", width: "110px" },
{ field: "LastName", title: "Last Name", width: "110px" },
{ field: "Country", width: "110px" },
{ field: "City", width: "110px" },
{ field: "Title" }
]});
function detailInit(e) {
$("<div/>").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "odata",
transport: {
read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/service/Northwind.svc/Orders"
},
serverPaging: true,
serverSorting: true,
serverFiltering: true,
pageSize: 5,
filter: { field: "EmployeeID", operator: "eq", value: e.data.EmployeeID }
},
scrollable: false,
sortable: false,
selectable: true,
pageable: true,
columns:
[
{ field: "OrderID", width: "70px" },
{ field: "ShipCountry", title: "Ship Country", width: "110px" },
{ field: "ShipAddress", title: "Ship Address" },
{ field: "ShipName", title: "Ship Name", width: "200px" }
]
}).data("kendoGrid");
}
Thank you for your help.

You can use the API of the Grid to expand it programatically.
//you can expand it programatically using the expandRow like this
element.on('click','tr',function(){
$(element).data().kendoGrid.expandRow($(this));
})
Here is updated version.
Or you can use make the Grid selectable and use the select event instead of hooking a click event like shown above.
