I have a dropdown list in an MVC view. On selection change of dropdown list I want to call specific action method in the controller.
What I have done on view is this :
<%=Html.DropDownList("ddl", ViewData["AvailableList"] as SelectList,
new { onchange = "this.form.action='MyMethod';this.form.submit();" })%>
Everything is getting compiled. But a runtime exception is thrown when I change the drop down selection, as
"Microsift JScript Runtime Error : Object doesn't support property or method"
How can I redirect to specific action on list selection change event?
How can I pass parameters to this action method?
Do you really need to submit the form? You could redirect:
onchange = "redirect(this.value)"
where redirect
is a custom defined function:
function redirect(dropDownValue) {
window.location.href = '/myController/myAction/' + dropDownValue;
}
