Why is my Read Method being called when I click update on the inline editing of a grid row - json

Question

Another frustrating day with the Kendo Grid. Anyway, my problem is this: When I click "Edit" on a grid row item, it goes into edit mode. Good. Then I modify a record, and click update. I would expect the "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin" method to be called.But no... The read method is called again. When I click "Cancel" the record just disappears! The $("#save") click event is just an attempt to force a save, but surely these events can be triggered off the grid command buttons? Any ideas anyone?
/// <reference path="../kendo.all-vsdoc.js" />
$(document).ready(function () {
var CompanyId = $("#CompanyId").val();
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(
{
batch: true,
pageSize: 10,
transport: {
create: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "/Company/ReadAccountAdmin",
},
read: {
url: "/Company/ReadAccountAdmin"
},
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "/Company/ReadAccountAdmin",
},
//destroy: {},
parameterMap: function (options, operation) {
if (operation !== "read" && options.model) {
return { model: kendo.stringify(options.model) };
}
}
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "ComanyContactId",
fields: {
CompanyId: { type: "number", editable: false, nullable: false, defaultVaue: CompanyId },
CompanyContactId: { type: "number", editable: false, defaultValue: 0 },
FirstName: { type: "string", nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

Phone: { type: "string", nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },
IsActive: { type: "boolean" }
}
}
}
});
$("#save").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var rows = $.map(dataSource.data(), function (value, index) {
return {
CompanyId: value["CompanyId"],
CompanyContactId: value["CompanyContactId"],
FirstName: value["FirstName"],
LastName: value["LastName"],
Email: value["Email"],
Phone: value["Phone"],
IsActive: value["IsActive"]
}
});
var jsonCompanyContacts = JSON.stringify(rows);
$.ajax({
url: '/Company/SaveAccountAdmin',
type: 'POST',
traditional: true,
data: { "jsonCompanyContacts": jsonCompanyContacts },
success: alert("Data Saved")
})
});
$("#AccountAdmins").kendoGrid({

});
});

My guess is that it is because you have the Read URL set for the Update command:
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin", // <-- Not used because it is changed below
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "/Company/ReadAccountAdmin", // <-- Read URL set
},
