Html.DropDownList and dojo.byId

Posted by Eric Polerecky in ASP.NET MVC, DojoSep 16th, 2008 | Comments

Ok, so maybe I’m doing it wrong..(that’s what she said)…and it would not be the first time.

dojo.byId(‘name’).value fails when using the Html Helper “Html.DropDownList” from ASP.NET MVC PR5 as seen below

   1:   <%'=Html.DropDownList("", "search_form_filter", ViewData())%>

Er..um…could it just be that dojo.byId does not return the display text when value is not explicitly defined in the dropdown…yeah..that’s probably it.
