Getting the selected value html.dropdowlist with jquery

Question

Hi

 

I am trying to put the selected value of the html.dropdownlist in a hidden input using the following jquery script but it is not working

 

    <!-- Inject Script Filtered -->

 

the dropdownlist in the view is:

    @Html.DropDownList("StoreCategoryID", ViewBag.Category as SelectList, "Please select a Category", new { Onchange = @"form-submit" })

 

Catid = Id of the input tag.

 

Why it is not showing in the input tag?

I would also like to display the related product on a table without having to post the form and the html.dropdownlist to retain it state.

Or if posting the page is easier I am ok with that too.

 

Any help please
