title: How to reset DropDownList Index
body: <p><em>Im using vs'12 , C# asp.net MVC-4 - Internet Template, with KendoUI EF Code First</em></p>
  
  <p>Logic + <strong>Question</strong>: I have first and 2ndary DropDownLists (cascading ones). So many (2ndarys) will cascade off one ( main ) DropDownList. My goal is to , with script or kendo events to <strong>On main selected index change, change all other kendo DDL's back to index(0)</strong> <em>The cascading and enabling and all of that works fine, when i switch to another control, they all empty out, but if i were to switch back they retain there values. This is not ideal for my application</em></p>
  
  <p><strong>need to know</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Main Kendo Control</p>
  
  <pre><code>@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m =&gt; m.Tracts)
      .Name("Tracts")
      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:300px" }) //, id = "clients"})
      .OptionLabel("Select Tract...")
      .DataTextField("TractName")
      .DataValueField("TractID")
      .DataSource(source =&gt;
      {
          source.Read(read =&gt;
          {
              read.Action("GetCascadeTracts", "ImageView");
          });
      })
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>2ndary Kendo Controls</p>
  
  <pre><code>@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m =&gt; m.LeaseholdA)
        .Name("LeaseholdA")
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:300px" })
        .OptionLabel("Select LeaseholdA...")
        .DataTextField("LeaseholdA")
        .DataValueField("LeaseholdAID")
        .DataSource(source =&gt;
                {
         source.Read(read =&gt;
                 {
                   read.Action("GetLeaseholdA", "ImageView")
                   .Data("filterFromTracts");
                 })
                .ServerFiltering(true);
         })
              .Enable(false)
              .AutoBind(false)
              .CascadeFrom("Tracts")
  )
  </code></pre></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Attempts</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>1 + 2 <em>just tryed the 2 rimmed out section</em></p>
  
  <pre><code>function TractSelect(e) {
  
      var dropdownlist = $("#LeaseholdA").data("kendoDropDownList");
      //dropdownlist.SelectedIndex(0)
      dropdownlist.enable(false);
  
  };
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p><em>The <code>selectedindex(0)</code> attempt did what it was supposed to off the ( change event ) the select even would claim <code>selectedIndex</code> doesn't exist</em></p></li>
  <li><em>The <code>enable</code> worked but when i switched back they remembered where they were. so this was ineffective</em></li>
  </ul>
