Question

Is there a way to pass a HashTable loaded with key/values to a page View in a way I can then use it via javascript/Jquery ?

Example: I have HashTable with

key = Car Model (206 XT), Value = "PEUGEOT", etc...............

So in the view I have a combo with all car models and near that, I have a textbox automatically populated with the manufacturer taken from javascript

Is there a way to do so ??

(I’m really noob in MVC 3 :()

There are different way to solve this problem:

if you wan’t to get this list dynamicaly with out reloading you can use a json request (examples).

Javascript:

 $.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       url: "/controler/action",
       dataType: "json",
       contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
       data: jsonData,
       success: function (result){

         for(var i=0; i<result.length; i++) {
        var value = result[i];
        alert(i =") "+value);
    }
       }

Controler (c#):

  [HttpPost]
   public JsonResult Action()
   {
      return Json(YourTable.ToArray()); 
   }

Furthermore you can access every html-element from javascript. So you can put the content in all kinds of html-elements.
