Description of the problem

In the destroy widgets manually document it states that in order to destroy a widget you need to empty out the div that the widget was initialized on. Which is fine for Grids that use a datasource because the data is in the datasource. But when the grid is initialized from HTML you don't really want to clear the HTML because you'll lose the data.

Cause

Sometimes you need to clear the div that a widget was initialized on, but sometimes you don't.

Solution

Kendo improves their destroy function to be more consistent (so we can reuse elements) or the bridge adds logic to always initialize widgets on new elements.
