destroy

Prepares the widget for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the widget element from DOM.

Example

<form id="myForm"></form>

<script>
    $("#myForm").kendoForm({
        formData: {
            ID: 1,
            Name: "Ivan",
            Address: "Sofia"
        }
    });

    var form = $("#myForm").getKendoForm();

    form.destroy();
</script>
