Question

I’m using a Kendo UI Grid and can’t get it to show data when using a JSON string. I created a fiddle here. What am I doing wrong?

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
        $('#grid').kendoGrid(
        {
            scrollable: false,
            data: '{"TestHeader":"This is some test data"}',
            columns: [ { field: 'TestHeader' } ]
        });
    });
</script>
<div id="grid"></div>

This might be closer to what you want (note the changes to the data definition):

$(document).ready(function ()
{
    $('#grid').kendoGrid(
    {
        scrollable: false,
        dataSource: { data: [ { "TestHeader": "This is some test data"} ] },
        columns: [ { field: 'TestHeader' } ]
    });
});​
