title: MVC3 - repopulate dropdownlist with Ajax after modal form submit
body: <p>I'm building an MVC3 application and would like to have a form with a dropdown list, and if the option the user requires is not there, then they can click on a link to open a modal popup box, fill a different form out, submit it and close the form, and repopulate the dropdown list which will contain the option they have just added.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at options of using either jQuery Ajax or MVC Ajax (e.g. Ajax.BeginForm, Ajax.ActionLink).  Can anyone recommend the best one to use, and also point me in the direction of a good tutorial?  Been having a good look today but can't find anything that really does what I'm looking for.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
