Thanks a million for your help, John!
Initialization script (remove scroller on right):
config.scrollable=false;
Render script: (removes header from queries):
$("#" + parser.m_gridId).find (".k-grid-header").css ("display", "none");

originally I had grabbed the incorrect Render Script from the other forum post & I had also place it in the Initialization script box instead of the Render script.
Thanks for the reminder on the video as well, John!
