MVC Index page and filter

This seems like a very simple question, but I'm getting lost, and need a few pointers.

I am using ASP.NET MVC C#, and have an Index page which displays a list of items, which is working fine.

Now I'm trying to add a DropDownList that depending on what the user selects will filter the list of items. But I keep thinking how you would do this in ASP.NET Web with RunAt Server, which I know is wrong.

Any pointers would be welcomed.

Put the select box in a form and make the form post back to a filter method in your controller. Or If you want to use ajax, use an Ajax.ActionLink to update the table with the filtered results

<% Ajax.ActionLink("Filter", "FilterMethod", null, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "tableId" }, new { Title = "Filter results" }) %>
<table id="tableId"> .... </table>

Where "FilterMethod" is in yo0ur controller
