ASP.NET MVC 2 DropDownList Selected item changed?

Question

I have a drop down list on my aspx form and what I want is to refresh the site after I select an item from the list. This is my drop down list:

 <%: Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CompanyUserFilterId, new SelectList(Model.CompanyUsers, "Id", "FirstName", Model.CompanyUserFilterId))%>

I use it to filter the data shown on the form depending on the selected item on the drop down list. Please help :)

Answer 1

you'll need to 'refresh' the site with some sort of client side mechanism onchange. A similar solution using JQuery is posted here.

Answer 2

The simplest method is probably to trigger an html/javascript onchange-event, and handle that to update your page (or post the form with the selected Id).
