Row Templates
The Kendo UI Grid supports row templates that allow you to place custom content into a grid row.
It is possible to format any cell within the Grid by using templates within a script tag or within the template option on the column object if the Grid is initialized from a <div> element.
The following example demonstrates how to use a template to format the email address as a hyperlink by using a template declared in a script block.
Example
<script id="template" type="text/x-kendo-tmpl">
<tr>
<td>
#= firstName #
</td>
<td>
#= lastName #
</td>
<td>
<a href="mailto:#= email #">#= email #</a>
</td>
</tr>
</script>
Specify this as a template for each row by passing it in to the rowTemplate option on the Grid and initializing it with the kendo.template function, as demonstrated in the following example.
Example
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
rowTemplate: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
// other configuration
});
In the resulting Grid, the email address is an interactive hyperlink which opens a new email message when clicked.
