Description

The Kendo UI for jQuery Chat has a customizable header where you can add items to enhance the user experience.

The current demo shows how to integrate a DropDownButton into the Chat's header that allows users to export the complete chat history in a text file or clear the established conversation.

This Chat example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of jQuery demos, with which you can see all Kendo UI for jQuery components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in Kendo UI for jQuery Dojo or ThemeBuilder.
