Hi, I'm currently trying to filter a grid using an external component like the dropdown menu. I've used the instructions found in this form thread.
How would I pass the name of the drop down menu as well as the id or text data associated with the selection.
For example here is my current code:

Javascript

<script>

var menuName

var menuItem

function additionalData(e) {

return {

item: menuName + " " + menuItem

}

function onChange(e) {

//What would I put here to get the name or id of the dropdown? id, name, &ct.toString() do not work

menuName = this.name()

menuItem = this.text()

var grid = $("#analogGrid").data("kendoGrid")

grid.dataSource.read()

}

</script>

Grid HTMLHelper

//...

.Read(read => read.Action("Analogs_ReadAsync", "Analogs").Data("additionalData"))

//...

Controller Action

public async Task<JsonResult> Analogs_ReadAsync([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request, string item) {...}
