asp.net mvc calling dropdown ajax request

Question

ok i have a record grid with different records

plus i have a dropdown as column as well (which ought to go and just save the value i have selected and come back on

Answer 1

I would use jquery to bind to the dropdown's change event, and then post the value to your controller action. You can assign a class to the dropdown to make it easy to select with jquery.

<%= Html.DropDownList("SelectedItem", JobHelper.GetSelectStatus(item.int_JobFormMain) as IEnumerable<SelectListItem>, new { @class = "SelectedItemDropDown" })%>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function()
    {
        $(".SelectedItemDropDown").change(function()
        {
            $.post("controller/SaveStatus", { id : $(this).val() });
        }
    }
</script>
