</div>

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#products").kendoComboBox({
placeholder: "Select product",
dataTextField: "ProductName",
dataValueField: "ProductID",
filter: "contains",
autoBind: false,

//Wire the drop event
var combobox = $("#products").data("kendoComboBox");
combobox.input.on("drop", function(e) {
var input = e.currentTarget;
var droppedText = e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.getData("text");
setTimeout(function() {
