Html.Dropdown list events in MVC

Can anyone please tell me about -

How can I handle Html.DropDown control's events in MVC View?
Can I handle it using scripts?
And how to know about the selected item?

Solution

  • If you use jquery you can handle events something like this:

    $("#IdOfYourSelectList").change(function() {
    var value = $(this).val();
});

    This creates a handler for the change event. If you want to bind a handler to some other event you just replace change with whatever event you want to handle.

    The same goes for any html element.
