How to add new css class in @Html.TextBox mvc4

Question

I have used following code to add css class with @Html.TextBox but this is only working for @Html.TextBoxFor and not for @Html.TextBox.

@Html.TextBox("ticket_new_attachment_attributes_0_description", new { @class= "bigfield"}) 

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Try this

@Html.TextBox("ticket_new_attachment_attributes_0_description", null, new { @class= "bigfield"})
