  How to populate a selection box with a button click event on the same view?

  Feb 17, 2012 01:08 PM|LINK

  In the View: Home/Index.cshtml

  <select name="select-choice-0" id="select-choice-1">
     <option value="option1">Option1</option>
     <option value="option2">Option2</option>
     <option value="option3">Option3</option>
  </select>
  <button name="getit" type="button" id="getit">Populate the picklist</button>
  
  
  <select name="select-choice-0" id="select-choice-2">
  
  //Populate the value here.
  
  </select>

  
  When the button clicks (getit), I want to pass the selected value (option1-3) to a controller, and within the controller, I have :

  {
  if(option1) return collection1;
  if(option2) return collection2;
  if(option3) return collection3;
  }

  each collection includes some string values , i.e. collection1 include collection1-1, collection1-2, collection1-3.

  then in the Index View, it should has:

  <select name="select-choice-0" id="select-choice-2">
    //Populate the value here.
    <option value="collection1-1">collection1-1</option>
    <option value="collection1-2">collection1-2</option>
    <option value="collection1-3">collection1-3</option>
  </select>

   

  Also the selection box should be populated without reloading the page, so AJAX.

  Thanks ignatandrei,

  Does my requirement have to use the PartialViews in order to popup the picklist with return values?

  This is important because I try to put all code in a singnle View/Controller, is that possible?

  Thanks ignatandrei, I'm using the MVC4 beta, so maybe the Single Page application is something I'm looking for.

  Does anyone has an example about MVC4 single page application in my question?
