    <p>I'm having a bit of trouble here, hoping someone can help:</p> <p>I am dynamically populating an html select element in a razor script and onChange I am hoping to get this posted value. It is posting back as the page is refreshing but I don't seem to be getting the value of the select; The reason I know is that I am passing a category and filtering on it. This filtering works when I change the querystring in the URL manually and post it.</p> <p>Razor Script:</p> <pre><code> @using umbraco.MacroEngines @inherits DynamicNodeContext @{ dynamic rootNode = @Model.NodeById(1066); DynamicNodeList list = rootNode.Descendants(); List&lt;dynamic&gt; categories = new List&lt;dynamic&gt;(list.Cast&lt;dynamic&gt;()); List&lt;string&gt; alias = new List&lt;string&gt; { "GeneralPage" }; var filtered = categories.Where(n =&gt; alias.Contains(n.NodeTypeAlias)); } &lt;form method="post" action=""&gt; &lt;select id="selectCategory" name="selectCategory" onchange="this.form.submit(); alertMe(selectCategory)"&gt; @foreach (var node in filtered) { &lt;option value="@node.Name"&gt;@node.Name&lt;/option&gt; } &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function alertMe(selectCategory) { alert(selectCategory) } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>You'll notice I have a function to alert the selected value but this is coming back as [object HTMLSelectElement]</p> <p>I can post more code if needed to show what's happening on the server, but as I said the filtering DOES work, however I am trying capture the value in the following way:</p> <pre><code>string category = Request["selectCategory"]; if (category != null) { </code></pre> <p>Any help much appreciated. Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
