I added the code to submit the yii form When we select the value from Chtml dropdownlist box.
<div class="search-form" style="display:block">
<div class="wide form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'action'=>Yii::app()->createUrl($this->route),
'method'=>'get',
)); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'type'); ?>
<?php
$types=array("1"=>"Type1","2"=>"Type2");
echo $form->dropDownList($model,'type',$types,
array(
'onchange'=>CHtml::ajax(array(
'success'=>"$('.search-form form').submit()",
)),
)
); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
