title: Change Kendo combobox placeholder text in javascript has no effect
body: <ul>
  <li>MVC 5.2.2</li>
  <li>Razor 3.2.2</li>
  <li>Kendo MVC UI v2014.2.903</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In Javascript, when I want to change the placeholder text of a ComboBoxFor, I thought I could do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@model MyNameSpace.Models.Address
  
  @(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model =&gt; model.ZipCode)
      .Placeholder("Select Zip...")
      .DataTextField("Text")
      .DataValueField("Text")
      .Suggest(true)
      .BindTo(Model.MailCodes)
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the javascript I use....</p>
  
  <pre><code> $("#Address_ZipCode").data("kendoComboBox").options.placeholder = "Select Postal...";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this doesn't seem to affect the dropdownlist placeholder text at all.</p>
  
  <p>What's the correct way do do this?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my Kendo UI JSFiddle:</p>
