Geting SelectList to MVC view using AJAX/jQuery
Supposing you have a controller action that will feed the data for the dropdown:
public ActionResult Cars(){ return Json(new[] { new { id = "bmw", name = "BMW" }, new { id = "mer", name = "Mercedes" }, new { id = "aud", name = "Audi" } }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);}And in your view:
$.getJSON('/home/cars', { }, function(cars) { var list = $('select#cars'); list.find('option').remove(); $(cars).each(function(index, car) { list.append('<option value="' + car.id + '">' + car.name + '</option>'); });});
