Prefill dropdown on redirect

Title:

BI{code} ?

I have a website with 2 pages, one is a grid of managers and the other a grid of employees. On the employees page, I have a drop-down to filter the employees by their manager which works. On the manager page I'd like to have a button to open the employees page and supply the manager ID in order to only show that manager's employees. From what I can tell, the URL query string is correct when clicking on the link in the managers page to go to the employees page, but I'm guessing that because the drop-down on the employees page isn't being prefilled with that manager's ID, the employees page is showing all employees. Do I need to do something to the function that's used to create the button on the managers grid in order to pre-fill the drop-down in the employees page when it redirects? Here is the code for the button on the manager's page: function employeesButtonFunc(hierarchy) { return '<button type="button" class="awe-btn" onclick="openEmployeesPage(' + hierarchy.ManagerId + ')">View This Managers Employees</button>'; } function openDriversPage(managerID) { location.href = '@Url.Action("Index", "Employees")?managerId=' + managerID; } And here is the code for the drop-down on the employees page: @Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("managerDropDown").Url(Url.Action("GetManagers", "Data")).Odropdown() And then the grid on the employees page uses to pass the value to the controller: .Parent("managerDropDown", "managerId")

  You need to set the dropdown value, regardless of how you get it, likely via querystring. @Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("managerDropDown").Value(managerId)...
