Question

I am using entity framework in mvc3. I have a table in which two entries are coming from an another table in the shape of drop down list. Like emp_no and emp_name.
Now i want that when i select Emp_no from the first drop down list,the corresponding emp_name
will be selected automatically.

Is this possible ?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Details: It is possible and the task will be much more easier if the emp_no is the value in the emp_name drop down list. If that is the case then the following is the solution using JQuery.

Solution:

Jquery

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
         $('#ddlEmployeeNumbers').change(function ()            
          {
            var employeeNum = $('#ddlEmployeeNumbers').val();
            $('#ddlEmployeeName').val(employeeNum);
          });
    });
</script>

Alternative: If you don’t have the emp_no as the value in the emp_name drop down then you should do an ajax call for more information go to this website AJAX-calls-with-jQuery-in-ASP.NET-MVC
