You could do this indirectly; from your Javascript you should invoke by using AJAX a new method on your server by passing it the selected index,then that new method will could manage directly the index change event or could invoke your existing select index changed method.
Here is an example of Javascript that use AJAX call for a dropdownlist:
function CartAddressChanged() {
var address = $("#_addressTypeDropDown").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Order/CartForNewAddress",
data: "address=" + address,
success: function () {
document.location = "/Order/ShoppingCart";
},
error: function (jqXHR, exception) {
alert('Uncaught Error.\n' + jqXHR.responseText);
}
});
return false;
};
