title: can't prefill a kendo-inputfield
body: <p>i can't prefill one of my inputfields and i don't know why. (btw, i'm using kendo / angular js in this project). this is my inputfield</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="selection" class="form-element-small" kendo-auto-complete
  k-data-text-field="'city_name'" ng-model="autocomplete" k-data-source="cities"
   k-placeholder="'Enter a city'"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is the scriptcode that fails:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var city_name_pre = window.localStorage.getItem('city_name');
  if (city_name_pre != null) {
      console.log(city_name_pre);
      console.log($('#selection').val());
      $('#selection').val(city_name_pre);
      console.log($('#selection').val());
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>first console.log says "boston". second console.log says "" (well.. of course ;) ). third console.log says "boston" like it should.</p>
  
  <p>but the actual inputfield is still empty and the inspector in the browser says value="" as well.</p>
