I am working on an app where i am adding panelbars (multiselection) using JSP Wrapper (which means no ID to each of the panels), and inside those have the grids.
The
If the id of your PanelBar is panel, do:
$("#panel").data("kendoPanelBar").collapse($("li", "#panelbar"));
or
var panelbar = $("#panelbar").data("kendoPanelBar");
panelbar.collapse($("li", panelbar.element));
i.e. we will collapse every li element under #panelbar.
EDIT: If you want to remove the selection, add:
$(".k-state-selected", panelbar.element).removeClass("k-state-selected");
