title: Display a message within the Kendo grid when it's empty
body: <p>I'm trying to display a friendly message (like <em>"No records found, try again later"</em>) within the grid content, when there are no records in the database.</p>
  
  <p>From what I've seen in the <a href="http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/web/grid">docs</a>, there is currently no way of doing this <strong>for the grid content.</strong> It's only doable for the footer. You can see the example in this fiddle: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/lav911/uNWXJ/">http://jsfiddle.net/lav911/uNWXJ/</a></p>
  
  <p>I've purposely misspelled the data route, in order to have an empty grid. To see it with content, simply comment / uncomment these lines:</p>
  
  <pre><code>transport: {
              // read: "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Customers"
              read: "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Customerss"
          },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a clean way of achieving this ?</p>
