destroy
Prepares the PanelBar 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 PanelBar element from DOM.
Example
<ul id="panelbar"> <li>Item 1 <ul> <li>Sub Item 1</li> <li>Sub Item 2</li> <li>Sub Item 3</li> </ul> </li> <li>Item 2 <ul> <li>Sub Item 1</li> <li>Sub Item 2</li> <li>Sub Item 3</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <script> $("#panelbar").kendoPanelBar(); var panelBar = $("#panelbar").data("kendoPanelBar"); // detach events panelBar.destroy(); </script>In this article
