Hi,

Thank you for your answer to my merged rows question previously. Now I have the problem of getting the grid contents to sustain the format if I use Filter, Clear buttons in the Filter pop up or Sort. Example:

After setting the filter say for "Equals"  John Smith I get:

Buuuut. I really want:

Is there a way to "bypass" or extend the function where I could use the same implementation to restructure the rows like the above.

javascript - Does Kendo Grid support cell merge or not? - Stack Overflow

I think maybe I could create a listener to catch the Filter/Clear/Sort command and capture the JavaScript array structure and implement a solution similar to the one in Stack Overflow where I loop though the array and merge the cells of the records when the text content is equal? Maybe I am imagining this?

I have a kendo grid with server side paging and client side sorting. while clicking the sort in the grid, data fetch request(Request to fetch data from server) is getting triggered from frontend. but I'm using the client side sorting it shouldn't be the case. Is it possible to restrict it, without calling the server, Sort should be done in the frontend level. I hereby attach the my code sample images for your Reference. Anyone can point me to the right direction? Thanks.

When I try to change the header text to wrap instead of showing ellipsis when it is too long. the sort icon seems to be missing. refer to the image below. what I would like to have is for the sorting icon to be top aligned, beside the word business

Hi,
I have an observable array of observables which is linked to a kendo grid as datainput. I am trying to sort it by clicking on column header. I have made the sortable : true. But the issue is when the array is 

self.array = ko.observableArray([{ Cabin: 'eco' }, { Cabin: 'taper' }]); The sorting works

But If the array is 
self.AllocArray = ko.observableArray([{ Cabin: ko.observable('eco') }, { Cabin: ko.observable('taper') }]); then the sorting doesn't work.

Is there any possible solution around this?

Many thanks,

Jason

I have jQuery and kendo versions set to 2013.3.1119. Kendo Grid shows up but sort, search, selection seems to be breaking. Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade.

there is another way to include grid is using HTML table, can I accomplish using this in older versions !

what can I do with this ? 

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm working on accessibility features for one of our kendo grids, and our version of kendo ui is v2012.2.710. This one has both sortable and scrollable set to true. One problem is that if scrollable is set to true the headers and body are broken up into two separate tables, and so the headings to not get read when using screen reader navigation (which is using ctrl and the arrow keys to navigate within the table). The screen reader also correctly reads there are two tables and thus you can't navigate easily from the headings to the body using screen reader controls. The other problem being that setting sortable to true makes it so the headings are read off as links.

For the scrollable problem, I've simply set scrollable to false for now, but is there a way to keep this functionality and have the table not be broken up? Or to add some sort of setting to trick the screen reader into thinking it's all one table? I've read about adding scope="col" as an attribute to the headings but that doesn't seem to address the problem.

For sorting, I'm having a lot more difficulty. I've tried using aria-labels but I can't seem to get a consistent fix working for it. When trying to relabel the headings it seems to break the heading association that setting scrollable to false fixes, I'll get a generic "Column 1" read back to me instead of the heading name. I'm also getting mixed results when dealing with the two different screen readers (NVDA and Narrator) that we test against.

Thus far I've had the best luck setting both scrollable and sortable to false and making sure every column has fields and titles set for it. Just wondering if there's an official answer on this or if someone's been through this. I know we've got a pretty old version of kendo to work with and if you know of an update that addresses this, that's helpful as well.

Thanks!
