@using (Html.BeginForm("Boxing", "Company",FormMethod.Post))
{
<div class="box">
<div>
<div class="left">
<div class="topLabel">
Id No:</div>
<div class="input_text_65">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Id)
</div>
<div class="botLabel">
percentt:
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" style="width: 50px" name="percent" />%
</div>
</div>
<div class="lastDetailField">
<div class="topLabel">
D/C:
</div>
<div class="select_110">
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.cType, new SelectList((IEnumerable<Model.cType>)ViewData[ViewDataKeys.cTypes]), "----")
</div>
<div class="margin_top_45">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
If I didn't select any option in the dropdownlist (leaving the optionlabel "----" selected) and I press the submit button, the form will not be posted and the focus will be move to the dropdownlist
if I remove the optional Label, like this:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.cType, new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData[ViewDataKeys.cTypes]))
then it will work just fine. I'm thinking if I will put an optional label, does that mean I am required to choose an item? I want the form to be submitted even if I leave the dropdownlist with the optionallabel selected.
thanks in advance!

Do you have a required attribute in your model/viewmoden on cType? I think the clientside validation is kicking in, but because you didn't set a validation helper, you're not seeing the message. The form won't submit though if you select the optional label.
