Cascade drop-down in MVC View without ajax? - asp.net-mvc

Question

I created one View Model with two Entities. I am passing this view model to my MVC Razor view which have two html drop-downs for each entity respectively.
<select class="form-control" id="Employees" name="Employees">
#foreach (var employee in Model.Employees)
{
<option value="#employee.Id"> #employee.name </option>
}
</select>
<select class="form-control" id="Tasks" name="Tasks">
#foreach (var task in Model.Tasks)
{
<option value="#task.Id"> #task.name </option>
}
</select>
Employee table is the parent of Task table. What I want is getting all the tasks which are related to particular employee only. e.g. In Employee drop-down I select John, then in Tasks drop-down I should get all the tasks which are relative to John. I know how to do this with ajax. I am looking for some other solution.
Is it possible to do something like this:
#foreach (var task in Model.Tasks.Where(x=>x.employeeId == 'Selected in previous dropdown'))
{
<option value="#task.Id"> #task.name </option>
}

Html block
<select id="Employees">
<option value="">Select Employee</option>
<option value="1">Employee1</option>
<option value="2">Employee2</option>
</select>
<select id="Tasks">
<option value="">Select Task</option>
<option value="1" data-employee="1">Employee1Task1</option>
<option value="2" data-employee="1">Employee1Task2</option>
<option value="3" data-employee="1">Employee1Task3</option>
<option value="1" data-employee="2">Employee2Task1</option>
<option value="2" data-employee="2">Employee2Task2</option>
<option value="3" data-employee="2">Employee2Task3</option>
</select>
Script scetion
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
//on page ready hide all task option
$("#Tasks").find('option').hide();
// set task as empty
$("#Tasks").val('');
// onchange of employee Drop down
$("#Employees").on('change', function () {
var selectedEmployee = $("#Employees").val();
if (selectedEmployee != '') {
$("#Tasks").find('option').hide();
$("#Tasks option[value='']").show();
$('*[data-employee="' + selectedEmployee + '"]').show();
}
else {
// if employee not selected then hide all tasks
$("#Tasks").find('option').hide();
$("#Tasks").val('');
}
});
});
</script>
Please populate country and state drop down list using MVC way by for each loop and use above script. The mandatory case is you have to render all cascade options
<select class="form-control" id="Employees" name="Employees">
#foreach (var employee in Model.Employees)
{
<option value="#employee.Id"> #employee.name </option>
}
</select>
<select class="form-control" id="Tasks" name="Tasks">
#foreach (var task in Model.Tasks)
{
<option value="#task.Id" data-employee="#task.EmployeeId"> #task.name </option>
}
</select>
