Working in AngularJS. All IDs being passed are int. However, after you select the option in the dropdown it comes back as a string. apologies for the formatting. New to asking questions on stack.

 <select style="width:95%" class="form-control" 
      ng-model=m.jurisdictionID data-value=x.jurisdictionID ng-change="buttonControll(); getFeeScheduleTips();">
      <option ng-repeat="x in m.jurisdictions | orderBy:'jurisdictionName'" ng-value={{x.jurisdictionID}}>{{x.jurisdictionName}}</option>
  </select>
