KendoUI cascading drop-downs does not update after binding once

I am using KendoUI cascading Drop-downs and it seems to be working fine for most part but it seems to have a little problem. However, I think it is a problem with my implementation NOT with the tool because on their Demo page here it seems to work fine. Also, I tried to follow the code exactly as it as to make sure that I do get the same behavior. Now, I am seeing following behavior:

I am not sure why it happens. Following is my code snippet:

Controller code

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult FindAlignmentsByTeamId(int teamId)
{
    var teams = Client.GetAlignmentsByTeamId(teamId);
    return Json(teams, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

.cshtml code

@* Perent Dropbox *@

<tr>
    <td>EmployeeID</td>
    <td><b>@Model.EmployeeId</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Team</td>
    <td>
        @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
              .Name("Team")
              .DataTextField("TeamName")
              .DataValueField("TeamId")
              .DataSource(source => source.Read(read => read.Action("GetAllTeams", "Employee")))
        )
    </td>
</tr>

@* Child DropBox *@


@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
    .Name("Alignment")
    .DataTextField("AlignmentName")
    .DataValueField("AlignmentId")
    .DataSource(source => source.Read(read => read.Action("FindAlignmentsByTeamId", "Employee").Data("FilterAlignment"))
           .ServerFiltering(true)
    )
    .CascadeFrom("teamId")
    .AutoBind(false)
)

<script type="text/javascript">
    function FilterAlignment() {
        return {
            teamId: $("#Team").val()
        }
    };
</script>

I am not sure what happens after it is bound successfully with a value for the first time so that it has a reason to believe that now it does not have to be checking on any OnChange() events anymore? Any ideas?

The id of your parent DropDownList is "Team", not "teamId". You need to update your child DropDownList to cascade from the correct id:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
      .Name("Alignment")
      .DataTextField("AlignmentName")
      .DataValueField("AlignmentId"            
      .DataSource(source => source.Read(read => read.Action("FindAlignmentsByTeamId", "Employee").Data("FilterAlignment"))
                .ServerFiltering(true)
      )
      .CascadeFrom("Team")
      .AutoBind(false)
)
