title: How do I return values from a SELECT on an MVC3 form
body: <p>I have an MVC3 form. My source code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="Status_RowKey" name="Status.RowKey" size="10" type="text" value="" /&gt;
  &lt;select class="editor-select" id="StatusDescription" name="Status.Description"style="width: 99%"&gt;
    &lt;option value="ABC"&gt;abc&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="DEF"&gt;def&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that it seems the value of Status.Description is never getting sent back. It's just NULL and all the other values on the form are sent back. I change the value it appears changed but never gets sent.  When it's a select do I have to do something different to return the value selected?</p>
