title: Change Kendo UI style in javascript
body: <p>I have to change the background color of some controls in javascript. I found the way for DropDownList and ComboBox but I can't find anything about DatePicker ? What is bizarre is that there is no standard way to do it as no control seems to give you access to the same element. For exemple, to do what I want in a dropdownlist, I access the "span" :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#myDropDown").data("kendoDropDownList").span.css("background-color", "#BDD1FF");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While with a combobox, you have access to the "input" element :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#myComboBox").data("kendoComboBox").input.css("background-color", "#BDD1FF");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yet, none of these works with the kendoDatePicker. Anyone knows the way ? I tried accessing css directly (like in JQuery) but had no luck.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> : I need to change only a few controls in my forms, not all of them. That's why I can't override kendo CSS. I also need to apply this background only when my view model is on edit mode. Therefore, I need to be able to toggle class, that's why I'm thinking JavaScript.</p>
