I have a list of items. I have to provide users an opportunity to edit those values. As I cannot efficiently handle it using textbox(generated dynamically), I was thinking to have dropdownlist which are editable.

Any suggestions?

  • on change of the dropdown populate a text box and when they submit do an ajax call back to the controller with the edited value and then you can update the record in the drop down to the changed value (or remove and readd). see my answer here for the ajax call http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19359204/asp-net-mvc-4-passing-object-variable-through-actionlink/19360998#19360998 – Matt Bodily Nov 27 '13 at 21:45
  • Can you be more specific in how the functionality should work? Have you searched around and found anything that is close to what you want or wouldn't work? I did a quick search and found an [editable dropdown](http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/form_widget_editable_select/form_widget_editable_select.html). Would an [autocomplete](http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/) be more stuied? – Rowan Freeman Nov 27 '13 at 21:46
  • @MattBodily in the mentioned approach, I can submit only one value at a time.But I am looking for submitting multiple values at the same time. – user1174075 Dec 01 '13 at 16:01
  • @RowanFreeman I couldn't find anything except one third party widget. But I cannot use that as we have company policy. I'll try the one you proposed and let you know the result. – user1174075 Dec 01 '13 at 16:12
  • @RowanFreeman This what specifically I am looking for. I have list of codes like "1234","5678","5421". Size of list is dynamic. User should be able to edit all these three values and submit. In the controller, I should capture all these three edited values. – user1174075 Dec 01 '13 at 16:19
  • In my approach you can send as many variables as you would like. Just add them to the data attribute – Matt Bodily Dec 01 '13 at 17:12
  • I am going with the thought of displaying textboxes. Looping though the list and displaying textbox for each item. In my case list count is less than 3-5 values. – user1174075 Dec 02 '13 at 17:18
