Changing Kendo combobox placeholder text in javascript has no effect
- MVC 5.2.2
- Razor 3.2.2
- Kendo MVC UI v2014.2.903
In Javascript, when I want to change the ComboBoxFor placeholder text, I thought I could do:
@model MyNameSpace.Models.Address
@(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model => model.ZipCode)
.Placeholder("Select Zip...")
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Text")
.Suggest(true)
.BindTo(Model.MailCodes)
)
using javascript ....
$("#Address_ZipCode").data("kendoComboBox").options.placeholder = "Select Postal...";
But that doesn't seem to affect the dropdownlist placeholder text at all.
How to do it right?
Here is my Kendo UI JSFiddle:
