title: Kendo ComboBox - How to select option based on its text() rather than value()?
body: <p>I am really struggling to select an option from my combo box based on the text rather than value. I have a combo box which has a datasource attached to it which are countries. These countries are stored in the database. I want the default country to be "United Kingdom".
  At the moment I am doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>combobox.select(combobox.text("United Kingdom"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this only shows the text and doesn't actually select it because the select function does not trigger. Any help with this?? I want the value to be applied. I have an alert in the select function which is not appearing.</p>
