I am using an , styled as normal text to remove the appearance of an interactive field, but still display the value.
the only way i found for this was
//FIREFOX
$('INPUT_SELECTOR').focus(function () {
$(this).blur();
});
//INTERNET EXPLORER
$('INPUT_SELECTOR').attr('unselectable', 'on');
KENDO
$('.k-ff .k-combobox>span>.k-input').focus(function () {
$(this).blur();
});
$('.k-ie .k-combobox>span>.k-input').attr('unselectable', 'on');
