I have cascading dropdowns in my MVC partial view. DD1 drives the values in DD2. When I select DD1 I want DD2 to be populated with, based on a DB table, the correct values based on DD1's value.
My thought was to make DD2 a partial view and nest in my form. Then, with ajax, I can tell the partial view to refresh and pass it the value of DD1.
The problem is, when I submit the whole view (with both DD1 and DD2 and a bucnh of other stuff, how do I get the value that is in DD2?
I'm trying to solve this problem using MVC, rather than triggering a javascript function on change of DD1 to make a JSON call to get the options and then using javascript to modify DD2 to the correct values.
How should I do this?
