JQuery Kendo Grid on entity form: code and usage explanation

Hi,

I'm new to Js and JQuery, I'm trying to understand how a Kendo Grid works within Dynamics CRM online, and what the relevant pieces of code mean.

------- Assumption ----->

On Dynamics CRM, I see a Kendo Grid showing values inside an entity form.
The HTML file kendo_Grid.html has been added as Webresource in the solution.

Inside the code, in the HTML file, I see a function that begins with the following instructions:

function myFunction() {
            
            var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

I'm aware that the "$" is a JQuery identifier that gets an element whose id is "grid": where such an element has been defined? (Where should I look to find the element whose id is "grid")?

----

Can you please give me some examples involving Html, Js and Jquery code that show the connections:

1) between the JS function like the one above and the element the $ identifier refers to (global coding scenario);

2) between the HTML file like the one above and the forms where is being used, i.e., how can I tell an entity form to use a kendo grid as far as the Webresource has been added? (CRM scenario)
