destroy

Prepares the MultiSelect 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 MultiSelect element from DOM.

Example

<select id="multiselect" multiple="multiple">
    <option>Item1</option>
    <option>Item2</option>
</select>
<script>
$("#multiselect").kendoMultiSelect();
var multiselect = $("#multiselect").data("kendoMultiSelect");
multiselect.destroy();
</script>
