My ng-model is updated with the first value when typing in a dropdown when some values SHARE start letters at captions.
<div ng-app="dropDown" ng-controller="dropDownController">
<select name="StateId" ng-model="selectedState" class="form-control" ng-change="selectedStateChanged()" ng-options="(states.Abbrev + ' - ' + states.Name) for states in states"></select>
<span>{{selectedState.Name||''}}</span>
</div>

Scenario to test:
- Click on any part of the form.
- Click Tab to focus the Dropdown.
- Start typing ‘TX’
Result:
– ‘TX – TEXAS’ option is displayed on drowpdown.
– $scope.selectedState value IS {Name:’TENNESSEE’}
Expected:
- ‘TX – TEXAS’ option is displayed on drowpdown.
- $scope.selectedState value should be {Name:’TEXAS’}
I’m gonna work this out by using plain javascript, in the meantime, I would like to know if theres any AngularJS solution out there.
Thanks in advance.
I also experienced some problems with select. That’s why it is always safer to add an empty option-tag!
<div ng-app="dropDown" ng-controller="dropDownController">
<select name="StateId" ng-model="selectedState" class="form-control" ng-change="selectedStateChanged()" ng-options="(states.Abbrev + ' - ' + states.Name) for states in states">
<option></option>
</select>
<span>{{selectedState.Name||''}}</span>
</div>

Angular Documentation explains the problem:
If the viewValue of ngModel does not match any of the options, then the control will automatically add an “unknown” option, which it then removes when the mismatch is resolved.
Optionally, a single hard-coded element, with the value set to an empty string, can be nested into the element. This element will then represent the null or “not selected” option.
