You should do it in javascript. At the onchange of the ddl you can redirect with js.

$form->dropDownList($model, attribute, array(), array('onChange'=>'window.location=http://www.google.com'))

Instead of google you should redirect on a url, that you will generate in javascript using something like:


$(this).find('option: selected').val();

take a look at jquery documentation for retriving the value from the ddl.

OK will try that.

Thanks a lot.

redirecting the page worked but now i want to pass the selected value from the ddl to a controller.

How to do that?

You should compose the url with js.

For example:


'onChange'=>'

url= "'.CHtml::normalizeUrl().'";

url= url+"&id="+$(this).find('option: selected').val();

window.location=url;'

I am currently sending a static value through the url like so


<? echo CHtml::DropDownList($model,'job_card',$data1,array(

			

			'onchange' =>'window.location='.Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/index.php/JobCards/jobcardrequirement?job_card=62 ',

			

			 ));

						 

						 

		 ?>

But i want to send the value for job_card dynamically. How do i do this?

Please advice.

Thanks

Better To use partially Render in that U cant Use Any View which want to load

better than Redirect page

and that should be in controller of that page
